  In response to someone's questions about selling a product heavily based
on another, possibly copyrighted product.

  You might want to try selling your modifications back to the original
designers, probably getting you a flat payment, but maybe a percentage
of royalties. This would get around any possible copyright difficulties,
and saves you the problem or marketing etc., that is assuming you made
some modifications they are interested in. Where I heard of this being
done before, a company got >$10K for some work that took a week or two
of a consultants time (granted the consultant costed them around $5K, but
they wanted the changes made anyway).

  Just a thought,
					       Stevie.
