Individual permission required

Partially checked ·

The creator permits the compatibility logo; complete text-reuse terms remain unverified.

Conditions

The January 2025 post authorises adding the supplied logo to Cortex Lite creations. It does not license the full booklet. Dire Wolf’s April 2026 announcement offers community and commercial licensing through Rusty Sellsword, but the complete applicable agreement has not been checked. Confirm those terms and the creators’ text/art rights before publishing or charging.
