Thanks for the ideas! Currently all the art in the project is original
and free (that is, it's all mine), so modifications are
straightforward.

Currently I don't actually have anyone elses IP in the product with
the exception of the SotC SRD extracts, which are attributed according
to the OGL. I do need to put a copy of the OGL in, though, to keep
that clear. Our only concern right now is the degree to which the
format impinges upon trademarks, and weve been advised that Mongoose
will be able to talk to that Real Soon Now.

Our objective is to be able to play without a copy of Traveller, but
maybe not get the full effect (ship design, subsector mapping, world
generation, and animal generation are all deliberately left out of our
work and deferred to Traveller).
