Scrutinization is something not wanted. The only way to sell game boxes are if
the person selling owns the rites to the game or has licsence to do some from
owner of game and or the rites to game. If that starts to happen then I would
think that the owner of Cyberboard would lock down the rites to that product
and it could stop being a free product for us. Hopefully he has it copy
protected so some one doesnt try to take things over for themselves.
Thats just my take on it from a laymans law point of view.

game that the GB is based on is going to start scutinizing Cyberboard and
this will open a Pandoras Box that we dont want opened...
