Issaries Fan Policy

Issaries finally published their Gloranthan fan publication policy a couple of days back, and it has led to a certain amount of debate, and bad feeling. This evening I've had the first smatterings of a flamewar, which I have hopefully doused - I'll find out in the morning, and bang heads together if need be.

Much of the policy is pretty innocuous. I have some problems - the "concept use" statement has no place in any contract, for instance. I also suspect the entire exercise is pointless. I've spotted enough stupid wordings that I suspect an experienced lawyer will be able to drive a truck through this. Some people have bigger worries, and if half the stories of what Issaries have been saying and the reasons for some of these clauses are true, they have reasons. Mainly, I'm waiting to see how this plays out in practice. Would be interested to know what others think, though.
