I am offering licenses for the minimum price that I can possibly charge ($1) and
you are offering advice that  infringes on my patent rights.

Please don't offer such bad advice!

If you have spoken with an international patent attorney, please say so. If you
have not, do not encourage people to infringe upon something that is my
intellectual property.

I am very willing to encourage people to program this game, but it was at
considerable expense that I came up with this idea. It cost $90,000 to create
the cavity molds to make the Gothic Chess pieces, and the minimum order we can
place is for 10,000 sets!

I am not looking to become a millionaire on Gothic Chess, but so help me God, I
will NOT allow my patent to be infringed upon when for $1 you can be fully
compliant with international law.
