Behind closed doors, sure they can't do much about. But that doesn't cover posting such a conversion online. And not selling it doesn't mean that you aren't violating copyright or trademark laws.

Now clearly I don't expect lawsuits. Really what I want is the rules so that I can do conversions within those rules, rather than having to do it one way, then having to go back and do it another.
