Lady Jestyr,
If you make something public domain then the creater has NO rights at all.
Not even to ask for credit. Also not that without a statement from the creater
FASA could not assume any protection dispite what you may post in a FAQ. Why?
Because the author could claim to not have seen or understood your FAQ message.
Copyright law here in the US is quite messy and tends to favor the person who
held the right first.
What we all should do is place our own statements offering FASA the free use
of our ideas. That way each "Dream Card" post would include an explisit release
for FASA.
