Hi,

I have no idea where I could get questions like this answered, so I
thought Debian-Legal would be a good place. I'm a European software
developer and I'd like to release a GNOME software implementation of a
commercial board game. The game in question is Gobblet
(http://www.blueorangegames.com/gobblet.php). Can I release the game as
Free Software (if I don't use the trademark Gobblet anywhere in its
description)?


If you don't use their trademarks and as long as there are no patents
on it it should be OK.
