I received an email from a member of the Seagate Adventurers' 
Guild asking that copies of their draft rules not be circulated:

==================================================================
I recently joined your dq-rules group looking for ideas to help enhance our
dq campaign. While checking out the file area, I noticed that an early copy 
of our in-house rulebook had been put in (file dq-rules.zip). Our front 
cover is 'The Adventurer's Guild of Seagate' surrounding a circular crest 
with the inside page giving the list of contributors and the edition 
history (we're up to `1.4 now). 

Some members of our committee has expressed concern about copies existing 
on the web as it is believed that the DQ copywrite still exists and. if the 
current holders decide to sue, that several of our members would be at 
professional risk - i.e. of losing their jobs over a lawsuit because of the 
profession that they're in. 

Hence I have been instructed to ask, with respect, that the file in 
question be removed. 

I still think that the idea of collecting all the dq rules variants 
together is a good one and, if I the committee agrees to allow an unmarked 
version of our rulebook that protects the author's identities then I'll 
arrange to send it in. 

Thanks for your consideration of this request,
