Yeah sure LM, licensing is gonna be tough......
TAOC Discussion

If the game is free im pretty sure it is legal to use real names/grounds.
If your not making any money by using there names/grounds there is no need to buy a license.
A license is purchased so that the players/grounds get some money since its their names/grounds that are helping the games company make money.
Donations are legal.
They dont know what we are donating for.
We got the game for free.
We could be donating to help pay website costs etc.

@Sman - hmm...if you're right, then that is cool, but i would love to get 100% legal confirmation on this - i have heard and read so many differing reports/opinions on the matter and it's too dangerous to assume anything without the facts

Though remuneration is quite a serious and important topic, I'm sure many here, including myself, would be willing to part with some money to ensure that this project is successful. Freeware is nice, but quality is even nicer.

Yes, Paul, you are perfectly on the point. If you are not planning to release it as an open project, then, you need to get all the licensing and stuff done, which is too expensive to be possible.
The best idea (if you are releasing it with your copyright) is to release a barebones game and charge a minimum fee (those wishing to pay more can also 'donate' later - which I am sure a lot of 'real' cricket fans will, after they play the game!). If it is cheaper than BLIC and Cricket 2005, and if a HUGE game patch is already 'unofficially' available, there will be a huge amount of takers all around the globe, even outside PlanetCricket. Word of mouth marketing is the fastest I have ever seen in the online business.
Plus, since the game is huge, you can charge for the distribution - for the CDs and Shipping.
But all these are pretty far away, but you don't have to worry about making some (enough) money with it when it is released.
So everyone, let's close this topic with this, and concentrate more on getting the game right. It is already a success. No doubt about that.

Sure looks good. Would look even better when the batsman's forearms get a bit more muscle.
