The explanation was that since the board is a geometric shape, it can't be copyrighted (as opposed to other board-games whose boards contain artistic graphics,like, say, Risk or Monopoly) the precise text of any particular version of a rules page can be copyrighted, although its intellectual content can't, and the sculptural patterns of the pieces physically produced in 3d can, although their moves cannot. I don't see anything wrong with just giving something to the world once in a while; share the joy! Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID The Mammoth does not match any item.
