#2As a HTML5-developer, how can I best contribute to this Stracraft project?
I would recommend changing the project name from Starcraft-Js to something else, to prevent legal problems with the commercial version.
I hope this HTML5 game will be as great as https://play.freeciv.org one day

Does anyone have any examples of a html5 rts that is good?

#7Technically true, but that name is still trademarked. Considering that this ultimately affects Blizzard's bottom line, I can't see them being nice about this.

Firstly, non-enforcement of trademarks results in losing said trademarks. I've been downvoted more than once around here for saying that, so here's a citation[1]:
> Trademark rights may also be lost when a trademark owner fails effectively to police its mark against eroded distinctiveness, which may occur as a result of the presence of confusingly similar third-party marks in the market.
Secondly, why pay for Starcraft when I can just play Starcraft-JS for free? Although I'm completely on-board with Startcraft-JS, I strongly doubt that Blizzard will react well to it.

Well, presumably (some of) that money goes somewhere else than Kotick's pockets. If they can't compete properly then isn't that the market working as intended?
