: : There's absolutely, 100%, no way that exporting any thing at all from mots would be even half-way legal..

: I don't get it. Why should it be illegal?

This is about 2 thirds into the License Agreement :
(Italics mine for emphasis.)


1 My Level works only with the retail version of the
Software, and does not work with any demo or OEM versions
of the Software.
2 My Level does not modify any COM, EXE, DLL or other executable files.
3My Level does not contain any illegal, scandalous,
illicit, defamatory, libelous, or objectionable material
(as may be determined by LEC in its sole discretion), or
any material that infringes any trademarks, copyrights,
protected works, publicity, proprietary, or other rights
of any third party or of LEC.

4 My Level does not include any LEC sound effects or music files or
portions thereof.

5 My Level identifies in every description file, on-
line description, read-me, and in comments in the New
Level code: (a) the name, address, and e-mail address of
the level's creators, and (b) the following disclaimer:
"THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY
LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. ELEMENTS TM & (C)
LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY."
6 My Level may not be sold, bartered, or distributed with
any other product for which any charge is made (other than
incidental charges for time spent on-line), but rather
must be distributed free of charge.
7 By distributing or permitting the distribution of any New
Levels, all creators or owners of any trademark,
copyright, or other right, title or interest therein grant
to LEC an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, sub-
licensable right to distribute the New Level by any means
(whether now known or hereafter invented), and to create
and distribute by any means (whether now known or here-
after invented) derivative works thereof, and to charge
for the distribution of such New Level or such derivative
work, with no obligation to account to any creators or
owners of the New Level in any manner.

I'd like to point out that LEC's defintion of "New Levels" alows you to include JK material in your JK level even though it is copyright LEC.
Also isn't #4 a bit redundant?
