awesome, thank you for the clarification, and for the advice! with that in mind, i think i'll definitely give making a contribution a shot! (both on the basis of likely quality of the end product, and just as a precaution against litigation, it'll probably be free/i'll make sure to add the appropriate disclaimers/creative commons, etc. again - i super appreciate the advice!)

Glad to hear. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Looking at SW5e, I noticed they didn’t have any licensing or disclaimers - not even an OGL declaration. I am not a lawyer, but I recommend you use a simple disclaimer. That, combined with the price of “free,” should keep the House of Mouse off your back.
I do recommend you avoid Creative Commons license for this one, since that grants powers to derivative works you likely don’t have the authority to.
gotcha! thanks for the advice - like i stated, i haven't really done anything like this before. i'll just go for a simple disclaimer then, thanks! (i might not even use sw5e/might go for a basic system similar to the one my friends use, i just think its a neat example.) thank you again for all your help/clarification!
