LOL, we're gonna ask for donations to support GCU Co. and if you make a donation of 10$(subject to change) or more you'll get the game as a FREE gift.

Like my one friend has a band but if your not signed with a recording studio or something, his dad said, you can't sell your album, so he gave me the idea of "donations"

Yea.. you can't say you give it away free for a donation. You have to say you get it free no matter if you give a donation or not.

just don't try anything you think could be considered selling, unless someone gives you guys something as their own idea

I've sold CD's before - obviously not mainstream but a couple of my friends made an "album" on audio tape - I converted it to CD and we sold them in places like schools etc.

If I recall we sold like 20 of them

Not a lot but it IS possible...

of course it's possible, but, depending on the copy write experation date, you could have gotten in serious trouble.

I dont think that selling a game that you created with you'r own hands is illegal. The game is yours so sell it. U didnt stel the game, u made it you'r self from scratch. All u need is remove any sierra code and put in ur own(If its possible) then make a profit.

well the name is more of a problem than the workings of the game, but I doubt Sierra cares about it anyway, and if they do decide to be jerks, we could just say that they dropped all claims to op2 and thus have to right to interfeer with the selling of op3

because it is entitled with Outpost and it is made to be a sequal, we have to worry about that.

well, our ransacing of sierra had better occur soon then, that way they wont have any proof that they are the makers of op1 and op2, that might help, if they even have the data on op2 still.

We've already disscussed that, the majority think that the name should stay.

I do not believe the name "Outpost" is copyrighted or patented in anyway....

First of all, in the manual/box it makes no reference to the word "Outpost" as a trademark in any way... (Well, it can't be because there is Outpost.com which sells computer parts etc)

Delphion.com (patent/trademark/copyright research site) returns no results for "Outpost 2".

Unrenewed copyrights take 75 years from date of publication to wear off.

So it WOULD be illegal to sell ANY part of Outpost 2 (whether it's the artwork, or the core, or anything)

Are the names or ideas copyrighted?

You can't copyright ideas.

You HAVE problems ... In Czech Republic we simply don't have this problems. Freeware is completely out of that and copyrights in CR aren't so hard. We had sold about 300 games on CDs and about 30 music CDs of our own development, before we had turned on freeware and it wasn't matter !

I guessed something, what is copyrighted is the main name no?
'well if you place the name in iverse order with the outpost name as secondary name it woldn't cause trouble.
I guessed that becouse of the tomb raider film, the actual name wasn't tomb raider but lara croft and tomb raider was a second name

On TTam's old NH site he went through all the people buying the OP name, I remember one was Stellarwave, but I don't know who finally ended up with it and closed it down.

Who says they won't have progress? Look, this is not your forum to stomp on people's ideas. I believe OP3 will work. It just has to get out in the open.

If you act like this toward people's projects again, consequences could result.
