Ciekawe przedsięwzięcie i jeszcze ciekawsze oświadczenie. Ja jestem natomiast bardzo ciekawy reakcji Lucasfilm Ltd.
STAR WARS SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE: GRAPHIC ADVENTURE
UNOFFICIAL FREEWARE FANGAMEStar Wars, Shadows of the Empire, Death Star and all other names, characters, situations, music related to Star Wars are registered trademarks of Lucasfilm L.t.d., LucasBooks, George Lucas, John Williams and all other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Death Star Games is NOT affiliated in any way to Lucasfilm L.t.d. We don’t intend to break any copyright. Death Star Games and Shadows of the Empire: Graphic Adventure are no-profit fan made works; the fangame is distribuited for free. Death Star Games is NOT responsible for any eventual selling of the game that should be considered always unauthorized. In order to prevent that possibility, the program will contain explicit statements of its no-profit nature from the title screen.
The fangame project may exist (and has been started) thanks to the tolerance policy notoriously applied with farsightedness by Lucasfilm L.t.d. to no-profit Star Wars initiatives like this one or the well known Fan Films, that require an enormous amount of non-paid work of passion that doesn’t damage in any way the legal rights owners, preparing instead the advent of official products, that the fandom eagerly waits for. This tolerance policy is, in fact, the same that applies to all websites, Fan Films, small fan games, etc. dedicated to the Star Wars universe, which provide copyrighted material: the common trait is the free sponsorization of the Star Wars franchise than fans carry on, spreading their knowledge and love for the saga.
If these projects would be stopped, the fandom would collapse carrying with it the Star Wars economical success.SOTE:GA does not contain elements such as volgarity, violence, etc alien to the pure spirit of the Star Wars saga, to which we try to remain faithful. The adventure game includes original sections that are result of our fantasy, but they’re created so to match the rest of the established saga, just as happens with every fan film: an unofficial free interpretation.
But, most important, Death Star Games -to advantage of Lucasfilm L.t.d. and its affiliates- openly and publicly renounces to claim in every situation, every condition, every circumstance, every way, every form and forever its authorship and its rights even on all the original elements of the fan game, since they’ve been created in a fictional world that is totally intellectual property of Lucasfilm L.t.d. and its affiliates.
If one or more original elements, situations, characters, names, details, etc. featured in this game would be used in the future -in any form, circumstance, medium- by Lucasfilm L.t.d. and its affiliates, either for an eventual choice motivated by the appreciation of that element, or for preexisting or future projects identical to it, such a use will be welcomed and will be done in complete freedom without any reference or credit to DS Games, who renounces to claim the authorship of those elements and publicly donates them to Lucasfilm L.t.d. and its affiliates and considers them, forever, intellectual property of Lucasfilm L.t.d. and its affiliates, who can use them as their registered trademarks and products of their genius.The fans working on SOTE:GA pledge therselves officially and publicly to that commitment.
