You mean you should not sell it? I dont think there is a legal "cannot" involved. Many people in many games sell CDs of add-ons for games. After all, its their own work. Its no different than selling a CD of avatars, or icons, clip-art, sound effects, tiles, etc. There should be no problem selling a CD of help files, or nations, or replacement text files, or whatever for this game.

The advertising part of it might get shakey. You can announce it here and give a link but creating a page that sells the CD and mentions "Space Empires IV" or Malfador could complained about.

And it doesnt matter what the market is since it doesnt cost anything to put it online for sale. If I remember correctly the materials cost of providing it on CafePress is some like $6 so if you set it at $6 then you make nothing (CP handles the burning and shipping). If you charge $7 then you get a dollar each time.

But I guess with Shrapnel offering free download off of their servers then its no biggie for most of the mods. But a major mod-compilation that takes someone quite abit of effort would make sense to offer off of CP (also mugs and mousepads with keypress charts, tshirts with ship sets and funny sayings, posters of great space battles, bumper stickers, etc etc)
