    President Felicia Winters conveyed 'disappointment' at the Federation's continued exclusion from Radicoida unica research.
    While careful not to criticise members of the October Accords directly, Winters made clear that denying the Federation any level of access to the research and its findings would force the superpower to act:

    In short, he hopes to regain certain copyrights to Ultima next year based on Section 203 of the Copyright Act. This is a provision which allows authors to regain control of their works' copyrights from publishers after 35 years in certain circumstances. This has since been widely reported as fact in the days since and while it would be pretty exciting, you should view this a little more trepidation than the mainstream media is offering.
