THE OWNER'S RIGHTS

Under copyright law, the owner of a work alone has the right to copy it,
distribute it, adapt it, and show or perform it in public, and to let
others do so. These rights arise automatically when a work is created,
in the United States and in the other countries that follow the Berne
Convention. A notice like the one above is not required, but it removes
any doubt that the work is protected and who owns it.

If someone copies the work without permission, the owner can ask the
host of their copy to take it down (in the United States, with a notice
under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act), and can seek a court order
and damages. In the United States a work normally has to be registered
with the Copyright Office before a lawsuit can be filed, and registering
soon after publication is what makes statutory damages and legal fees
available.

Copyright in a work by an individual generally lasts for the author's
life plus 70 years in the United States and the European Union.


WHAT COPYRIGHT DOES NOT COVER

Copyright protects the way ideas are expressed, not the ideas
themselves. The rules and mechanics of the game, such as how triangular
tiles match along their edges, are ideas, and anyone may make a
different game with similar rules. They may not copy the code, the art
or the text.
