ahh ahh...oh oh.
My honest, impartial opinion, is that GDW won't give a flying f*ck if someone
else wants to do an alternate rules set. I also think that keeping them in
the dark is a bad idea. I don't think we need to tell them, but there's no
need for secrecy.
I also don't know about making it all public domain: i may be the only
person that GDW's paying for anything, but i _like_ money... I don't care
about releasing anything I do, but i prefer to keep copyright on my work. 8-(
