I really don't know.
FGU was old fashioned in that the authors had the copyrights. But the artwork and layout and such is another story. It could be that MHG could say "you can't publish that!," but they couldn't publish the V&V PDFs themselves w/o getting new art and such.
If MHG and FGU could work out an agreement, I wouldn't have a problem with FGU continuing to sell my old stuff. I've been getting a trickle of royalties from it. But I'd like to rewrite some of the books. Could MHG publish a new version while FGU continues to distribute the old?
I'll stay tuned, like everyone else.
