Yes... Trade secrets are important in some cases, however it's _REAL_ hard
to have "published" IP that is covered by trade secrets. I'm at a loss as
to how _any_ sort of non-computer RPG or CCG could be covered by that.
If your going to list that you _could_ go all the way and list the
"ultimate" protection for IP, Government or Military Classification. Copy
and go to jail! Hell, some times go to jail if you just read it... LOL, I
have seen wargames that were classified "Secret"....
