[Rq-rules] Re: Mongoose Runequest License

[rjmeints at aol.com]

Lev,
 
Here are the important facts of the licensing agreements that Issaries
has with Mongoose:
 
Mongoose has an exclusive license to the Runequest trademark.
They have a non-exclusive license to use the Glorantha trademark.
Issaries cannot grant you a license to use the Runequest trademark
for anything, fan publications, etc. until the agreement with Mongoose
terminates. Issaries can license someone to write a Gloranthan publication. 
Issaries cannot license someone to write a Runequest Gloranthan publication 
without Mongoose's permission, which Mongoose will not currently give.
 
Mongoose will allow people to use the Runequest Trademark via their
OGL terms and such on their website. Several publishers have already
taken advantage of this and published Runequest supplements and
game worlds using the Runequest rules. Mongoose will NOT license other 
people to write Runequest Gloranthan material. No exceptions.
They specifically state this in their Runequest license terms on their website.
 
Regards,
Rick Meints
