Especially if the another person isn't me."Dinopirates of Ninja Island" isn't my idea. I'd LOVE to create a website and encourage collaboration and have a ball creating cool stuff for it -- but not if the person whose idea it was in the first place has decided to take their idea and pursue their own opportunities with it. Which they have every right to do and I will not interfere in that.I don't consider this concept to be a public one. It belongs to JPL and if JPL says, "Go to it, I waive any and all rights to control or ownership over this baby", then full steam ahead, let 'er rip, darn the torpedoes and all that. If on the other hand JPL says, "You know, Green Ronin just offered me a contract to develop this as a setting for them to publish," then us creating a public setting with the exact same name isn't so cool. It might in fact be illegal and it would certainly reduce the value of JPL's work.Which I would not want to do. As far as I know, JPL has posted a setting idea and encouraged people on this thread to post their own ideas. Which is very generous of JPL, but it's a far cry from saying, "Anyone who wants to can publish material using this concept."</blockquote>
