for non commercial works, i dont think its a problem because you as the developer are not seeking compensation for the project. if there were any money made, then the owner of the copyrighted material is due said money. its like creating something, but getting paid for it without actually having to do any of the work,lol. we all dream of getting free money. the difficulty is, if the project is really that good, then you might have to change names and looks of copyrighted material, and you would be better off. there are hundreds of zelda clones, re clones, halo clones. imitation is the highest for of flattery, and legal.
My Famous Quotes: "Hip hop is like a virus, infecting everyone and everything around it. Every form of media has some way,shape or form, assimilated hip hop into it." It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."
