Selling as in gaining profits, or selling as in to take charge for the
medium (book or CD)? (Would GFDL be "not selling"?)
Besides, are these USA-spesific of INTERNATIONAL advice? Any country that
has signed the Bern treaty (or what it is called) has to treat an
international copyrightholder at a certain level, and never worse than
national copyrightholders.
I wonder how WotC handles copyright and Trademarks in a country where they
don't have an office. Say I publish a netbook on my norwegian site, what
then? (If somebody interpretes this last question as someting like "is it
easy to get away with?", I must say that was not the intetion. I humbly
want to understand these things better so that I DO NOT do anything bad.)
Thanks for the help so far :)
