Message: <blockquote data-quote="herald" data-source="post: 227094" data-attributes="member: 1112">OGL is a complete red herring <sp?> in this discussion. NWN is not being realeased under the OGL and doesn't have to satisfy any of it's requirements. It's simular to Kenser's Kalamar licence and White Wolf's Ravenloft. The reality of it is that all of NWN is closed IP wise. In addition it has been published that NWN reserves ownership on all "modules" developed with the NWN tool set. Since the EULA would conflict with the IP of WOTC, (or some other company) WOTC would more than likely not want to see any of there original adventures recreated without permission. Having said that, it's a fact that people will go ahead and recreate old adventures. And I know people with distribute these game even if they don't do it over these boards. While there is a potential for copywrite infringment that could possibly hurt some companies, I personally feel that the damage would be little and not worth mentioning. For a few thousand dollars a company could hire a mod specialist and create a expantion pack with a module that would be much better than most of us could create and then pursue a deal with Infrogrames to distribute it. Piracy will hurt the makes of this game more than people recreating this game in 3d graphics. But this is just my opinion and there might be some points I have missed.</blockquote>
