It Was Copyright

Smade's Planet originally appears in Jack Vance's 1964 novel "Star King".

It was used without permission by GDW et al in 1977 and that Steve Jackson's scrupulous observance of said copyrights prevented its continued use in GURPS: Traveller.

    Not ever played GURPS=Traveller, I would have never known the history behind the un-smading of Smade's Planet. Weird. Wonder what other landmines exist between editions?
