Oolite Bulletins

A chap has produced an 'Frontier Comic' - looks very good by the way. But one of his posts caught my eye, would love to find the citation for this. Posted below, emphasis mine.

Yes, so far I have noticed that, I just don't want to get caught up in some big copyright legal battle, without at least proving I made all efforts possible to contact the rightfull owners for permission go forward with the project first. I wouldn't be making it for financial gain, I remember seeing a post made By Braben himself saying that he welcomed Frontier fiction (mainly the stories) providing it wasn't for money making purposes, I can pretty much confirm that It wouldn't be for making money, but more to entertain those who want to see deeper into the frontier universe. I Do have one request, does anyone know what Jameson's first name is? i Know it starts with J is it John, James, or what?



Cheers,

Drew.

The comic frame does indeed look good - and that citation would be useful! (but I'm sure if it did exist - one of us would have found it before now)

this page is worth a read. whilst not dealing w/ the fanfic question (as far as i've read down, anyway, it's mostly about the original code and fan variants), it does seem DB is fairly easy and happy w/ the fanbase doing their thing, as the first 2 or three posts show.

advance warning : for those old bugers like myself who hold the original Elite ~ and the DB/IB partnership that brought us so much enjoyment ~ in high esteem, you may find this page pretty depressing.

I've read that page a few times over the years - the mud-slinging, accusations and counter-claims were deeply unpleasant.


I'm not sure "fairly easy" is a legal definition though - and that has always been the issue...

(And I still have the original boxed Firebird Elite for my C64 and indeed the C64 to play it on!) [actually I've got quite a few Firebird/Rainbird Boxes games for my C64/Amiga - Elite, Revs, Cholo, Starglider]

We buy nice people crissy prezzies!
Because nice should be better rewarded.

Did you see the guy's rendition of an Imperial Trader?

Nope, just the same old frog on ice.
