Is it necessary to buy the license for a small scale non-commercial
venture? I'm not so sure it is. A guy over here used to run a
Discworld PBM role playing game. He checked with Terry Pratchett,
who had no objection to him doing so as long as he didn't make a
fortune out of it, there was no question of a license. Were all
the primitive computer games based around Star Trek officially
licensed? I doubt it very much!
