Publishing modules
Publishing route unconfirmed
Free access and a fan community are confirmed; applicable general publication rights remain unconfirmed.
Conditions
The community refers contributors to Fan Document Policies supplied with the game; the complete policy was not inspected. Wiki submission rules give that host particular rights and require moderation, not a general independent commercial licence. A publisher call for paid writers is also not a public reuse grant. Do not infer permission from the zero price or apply the production AI label to downstream creators.
