Well, that should pose no problem to us. Our project is hosted by GNA, GNA is located in France. The law in the country where the server is hosted is to be applied there.
Besides. As I recall we don't have software patents in Europe, so we can make a clone of Ascendancy. Copyright is only in play when we re-use the graphics and sound of Ascendancy. I want to meet soon because I want to do something on the project.

Here in Germany is Copyright very strictly used by firms and advocates. Some Advocates make her money through finding copyright infringement on themself and then asking the firms for authorization to accuse the admin of homepage or something like that. And in special fact of Games the law says that you must not copy the idea of the game, for example you must not develop a game like monopoly without authorisation through the Firm Parker. and ports of games are a copying act of game ideas so we should not Port Ascendancy instead we should develop a complete new game for Linux in which we may reuse a small part of the main concept of Ascendancy like the Starlane feature. We should redo all artwork as soon as possible, for avoiding any copyright conflict and of course changing the Text on the website so there is no hint for the port anymore, Ok? Im Sorry but our "Urheberrecht" is al little bit spongy at some parts and some advocates abuse this to make money greetz Mario -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Gert-Jan de Boer Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.
