Actually I'd be very careful doing that. Who's to say shipping didn't cost $89.90?
My point is its not enough to be beyond reproach you have to appear to be beyond reproach. If you really are just charging for shipping, it may look as though you are also making a bit on the side. Apart from that, I don't think you can charge full stop. I remember a few years ago there was a discussion about this and the final answer was you could charge for an internet distribution, but not for a distribution on physical media. I don't know if that has since changed. You should email Eric Smith and ask him. He will pass it onto the relevant legal people. Also on a side note, if you really want to make money from a mod, why not look at more original ways of doing it rather than selling it perse? Banner ads etc for instance. Yahn once said to me that making money is not a good driving force behind the production of a mod. Good advice.

I doubt you could charge for the mod, but could probably charge for shipping/handling and to cover cost of producing the CD itself. Linux is free but you can "buy" redhat in the store or download it for "free" off the redhat's site. You should read Valve's license carefully since HL is not GPL'ed. But I think you would be ok with charging 5-10 bucks or something for the CD burned with mod on it and shipping charge included in that charge. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
