I think we HAVE some kind of permission... Since the con, right? Or maybe I don't remember the critical details, since I haven't given this much thought for so long. But when we start taking money for someone elses work things get just so much more complicated.
Well, the agreement we had was that we could go ahead and make changes, but they'd need final approval from the original devs. Problem was, by the time we got to that agreement, we didn't have anyone willing to code, and later when we did get people who knew how to code, we'd lost contact with the devs.
As to the GPL, I never looked at it myself, so it's possible it's changed in the time since above agreement. Or everyone else just misunderstood it. Whatever the case, it's out of my hands.
