How far issit legal? Can u sell modified engine of Diablo for 4E for each copy? Can you have any rights owned since you've created only a part of stuff which Rebirth contains?
I just wonder. I'm not attacking you as I deeply appreciate your work, although I'm a proponent of full frewares.
Regards,

Hello, thanks for your intervent, that reminds me to upload the "disclaimer" page on the website.
First of all, I want to clarify that I am not selling anything, I just ask for a donation and in change I will offer the chance to test the version before the public opening, and using that money to provide to web space and other stuff related to the project.
All releases will be free and I will not get money for this project, except for donations, wich money will be used for the project itself.
Btw, in his legal FAQs Blizzard says:
Can I do a total conversion of your games?
Yes. We've seen some very polished and fun conversions for our games, and have no problems with total conversions so long as they are for personal use and do not infringe our End User License Agreement included in our games, nor the rights of any other parties including copyrights, trademarks or other rights.
And also:
How does Blizzard feel about StarCraft Total Conversions, or Diablo mods?
We've seen some very polished and fun conversions for our games, and have no problems with total conversions, so long as they are for personal use and do not infringe our End User License Agreement included in our games, nor the rights of any other parties including copyrights, trademarks or other rights.
I must add that Rebirth is to intend as a MOD, and not a real EXPANSION, since IT IS A MOD, but for figuring out the whole work behind, we prefer to call it Expansion, even if it still remain a "big mod" or "total conversion".
Thanks for asking, I'll do a disclaimer page soon. |

Woot, that's great, I would have never thought that Blizzard had agreed to total conversions.

What is selling if not giving smth in exchange for money?

I understand that, although why only donors are allowed to play? IMO the more people is testing smth the more bugs is
discovered and the more ideas arise.
