This offers no help to e.g. the Uru Localization folks who want to change/extend the text! Also, I think you're missing the point about PRPs: While a license to distribute the PRPs (and the SFX files) is necessary for a shard to be self-sufficient (i.e. not dependant on copy data from a MOULa install) you need to remember that the PRPs are a compiled product and '''not''' the source files (which are 3ds Max files by and large). So, a license to distribute the existing game content on shard is actually covering a different set of files compared to license that allows modification of the sources, although the former can be produced from the latter. Textures are probably the most valuable things to age creators aiming for a consistent D'ni look in their work (and they're probably the most jealously guarded of Cyan's assets). --[[User:Mac Fife|Mac Fife]] 15:01, 19 July 2012 (MDT) | This offers no help to e.g. the Uru Localization folks who want to change/extend the text!

Sub-section numbering
Some sub-section numbering has gone wonky (mixed alpha and numerical numbering) as a result of pasting the original HTML formatted text into the wiki markup and not taking out some of the imported "bullets". --Mac Fife 15:01, 19 July 2012 (MDT)

Premise of basing license on SFX files
This offers no help to e.g. the Uru Localization folks who want to change/extend the text!
