There have been some very heated discussions on the topic of copyright on the TolkLang and Elfling lists. Everything in all of the books is for free, but apparently there are *some people* who are withholding a whole lot of language stuff that Christopher Tolkien (J.R.R's son) gave to them to edit and publish. But other than that, I'd say: Go ahead. A problem might be the Sindarin translation since I can't find a way to say for instance 'your'. Quenya should be easier though. / Daniel Andreasson
