He did mention that he might make an exception to that for the Legends of Gaming museum, but that would be the only exception.Mark

The name I'm proposing (to the Board of Directors of LoG) is NAGA -- the North American Gaming Archive -- since the corp is broader in scope than just Hobby gaming. I personally own over 6,000 boardgame titles (many rares, some Sid Sacksons) that I'm ready to donate formally, as well as various original and/or early manuscripts -- like the ToEE original -- that I want to be preserved and not fought over. (Wills and Probate often end up in court; when you try to fight a museum covered by a 501, the state's on your side, and often the Feds too.)

Until the archived pieces are commonly known to be such, public ignorance could result in stupid people paying a lot for a publicly available copy. Thus, early on we'd probably have legal restrictions, a waiver/guarantee that must be signed, or even ::cringe:: limits on the amount copyable -- tho I abhor the latter as a restriction of freedoms.
