I've got no licence from Games Workshop as I don't thnik
they will give me one for free :o(
The current policy of GW toward any non-commercial
project about their universe is this one :


1. Any game or mod must be a "total conversion".
In other words you must not use our intellectual
property (logos, images, names etc) in relation to the
worlds, names, logos or images of any other company. For
example you cannot place our Space Marines
in a Disney total conversion using the Unreal engine,
but you could make a TC solely using Space Marines with
the Unreal engine. (Assuming that you have permission to
use the Unreal engine)

2. Please bear in mind that we may require you to
remove the game or mod from any public forum at any time
so that we can comply with any licenses that we may have
with computer game publishers/developers. Be aware that
we may even have to insist that the Mod be destroyed in
order that our trademarks be protected.

3. The game or mod must be strictly non-profit making.

4. Any distribution of the whole, or any part, of
the mod or game must be accompanied with the appropriate
disclaimers.

5. It must be made clear that the game or mod is
unofficial and the origins of the intellectual property
must be made obvious.

6. The functionality, atmosphere and parameters of
any mod or game must be consistent with the Warhammer
and 40k universes as created and owned by Games Workshop

So as long as I don't have any problem, I will continue
my work and think that GW "tolerate" this project.

First off I love the game. However I can not find
anywhere any mention of a license from GW. IIRC GW owns
the copyright and trademark to spacehulk. So what is
the situation?
