Hi guys,
i'm currently working on a free program to manage SR 4 characters (attributes, skills, the lot) and to provide useful GM tools (calculators for the ranged combat modifier, melee combat modifier and defense modifier, as well as a simple random loot generator). Now my question would be: what do I need to know in terms of copyright and stuff? The program is currently named "SR 4.01D Wizard" (the working title) and it's using a big Shadowrun logo. Is that allowed? Forbidden? Do I need to place something like "WizKid holds all rights on names, logos and stuff" within the program? Do I need to ask WizKid for permission to use this name and said logo? Any help is appreciated :) |
