Mongoose Traveller SRD

We haven't posted the Mongoose SRD to the Wiki are for the following reasons:

  1. The agreement with Marc Miller and Far Future Enterprises allows us to post library data, and specifically excludes posting game rules.
  2. The Mongoose SRD is published under their open game license, which isn't quite the same as the CC-BY-SA license which is what the Traveller wiki uses. I would have to re-read the Mongoose license to explain the specific differences.
  3. Mongoose makes available the SRD rules but re-publishing them, by posting them to the Traveller Wiki, falls under a slightly different set of rules. At minimum I would like to have the explicit permission from the Mongoose staff that publishing the rules to the Wiki is ok.
  4. We haven't devoted the time to tracking down the above, let alone spending the time to reformat the text of the rules into the wiki.

Hope that answers your questions. Tjoneslo 19:09, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
