Point of order, the word copywrite does not exist. Copyright is the
correct term. We are talking the copy rights, the copying writing. Perhaps
you are confused by the term Copy Writer, which means someone who writes
copy. Or, you just made a silly error <grin>.

Sorry, but I am pretty sure that you are wrong here. Copying a page for
your own personal use is covered under fair use, but if you are including it
in a game, which you would distribute, then it is a violation of the
copyright.

And you repeatedly wrote the word copyright wrong each and every time?
