I have send a request to Fria Ligan, if it is OK. It could be nice to have all translations in the same place. And of course your Polish translation is welcomed

I have a question on YZE OGL: the engine is the base system, but can a specific rule by another game be used under the OGL?

While I'm neither an employee of Fria Ligan nor any sort of copyright expert, I think it's permissible to reproduce rules in your own words under normal copyright, at least in the U.S.. (Copying text from copyrighted rules, on the other hand, is plagiarism and a big no no.)

If a word, phrase, or block of text is listed as "Product Identity", then under the OGL you can't use it ... but Product Identity is usually listed at the beginning of the document (EDIT: or the license at the end), and all I see in the YZE document is boiler plate for someone else to insert their own Product Identity.  For safety's sake you might want to avoid specific terms from other games, e.g. "Dark Between The Stars"; call it something else. "Action Points" is a general term used in unrelated RPGs, so it might pass muster.

Ok, I’ll work on this project

The French translation is almost complete. [...]

I think I'll be able to give a Google Doc public link soon.

• Lot #1 : Introduction
• Lot #2 : Personnage joueur
• Lot #3 : Compétences
• Lot #4 : Talents
• Lot #5 : Combat & dommage
• Lot #6 : Licence
• Lot #7 : Appendice

Got my translation to polish ready - I just want to make one re-read and to ask someone else to check it (to fix all the things I've missed).

Still no answer from FL-staff if it's legal or not, but... I'll assume if it's my non-commercial translation...
