Hi,

Oh, I've heard Hasbro is rather strict when it comes to their
copyrights. I heard of this case where a guy created an online game of
Scrabble, apparently it was very popular, and even though the guy
wasn't charging for people to play Hasbro took him to court and
legally forced him to shut down the website.  Unfortunately, that's
the kind of risk we take when creating accessible versions of games
like Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk, etc because they are copyrighted and if
it comes to their attention they have legal rights to shut any
accessible developer down for copyright infringement. We are just
lucky that the developers we do have haven't been hit with a lawsuit
as it would be their legal right to do so.

Cheers!
