To All Octi Lovers, I have discussed the several issues with prof. Donald Green 1 What are the strings attached by winning the tournament? DG: "None at all. If he wins, he gets a check!" 2 Is he allowed to distribute the software freely or does he has to pay a percentage? DG: "I technically hold the rights to electronic releases of Octi. But as you know, I am happy to waive them without a fee. My only reason for maintaining ownership of these rights is to make sure that the rules of the game do not change (which, as you know, is something that game companies are prone to do). If he wants to work out an agreement, I'm more than happy to do so." 3 Are you offering the money as Octi inventor or as Yale Professor? DG: "This is sort of a funny question, because I am both people; I take an interest in the game both as the inventor and as someone with an academic interest in games in general. Perhaps the bottom line is that I'm paying this out of my own pocket, certainly not out of Yale's."
