Can Open Design Patrons sell / auction off their modules?

[joela]

What the subject says. I can understand why Wolfgang Baur of Open Design can't do so, but what about the patrons? Is there anything in their contracts forbidding such sale? If no, has anyone ever purchased a mod in such a manner?

As a matter of fact, I've seen it done. Castle Shadowcrag and a hardcover Empire of the Ghouls went up on Ebay back in mid-April. Shadowcrag went for $154!

As long as it is a hardcopy, there should be no problem.

Wolfgang has already posted that it's cool to do whatever you want with your hardcopy. If you want to buy more hardcopies to trade/sell later that's cool.

[Wolfgang Baur]

You buy the book, it's yours to resell. Thank you for asking!

It get's interesting with the patron only supplemenst in pdf form. Has anyone seen Open Design pdfs for sale or sold yet?

[bullonir]

I think selling PDFs is rather iffy as far as the ''ethics'' of selling Open Design goes...

BUT, I was wondering... Would Wolfgang and patrons (and I am a patron for most projects) object to someone selling a print copy of a PDF? (Mostly at cost.)

And no, I am not looking to get into the print-on-demand business!!!!
Just trying to see if I could get a paper copy of the first OD project in a manner which would be satisfactory to all the older patrons and Wolfgang.

I might go mention this thread on The Free City... Hum.
