Frontier and open source fan sites

I would like my open source project (non-commercial of course) to adhere to Frontier's terms and conditions.

  • What open source license type can/should we be using for an open source fan site (MIT, GPLv#, etc)?
  • How can/should such a license be altered to adhere to said terms and conditions?

I absolutely want to respect Frontier's IP rights. As it currently stands my open source project is probably already violating the terms and conditions :eek:

I'm hoping someone from Frontier can shed some light..

Edit: Adding my current license text as-is:

Yeah, I've read through all of that and while helpful, it does not define 'media' (e.g. does this include data crowdsourced from the game? or mathematical formulas).

It doesn't answer my original question - what should my open source license say. I already have the necessary statements included on the site itself.
