This isn't widely advertised, but our web hosting provider (Dreamhost)
has their own S3-compatible storage. Using this service with a user
created by Project Aon would certainly be compatible with the Project
Aon license requirement for the books to be hosted on Project Aon.

I'm sure this problem has been solved before - there are options, including:
Host a stub program on Amazon, which calls the main program on AON
Host the whole program on Amazon, but download the data from AON (I am sure
this has been done before)
Most developers create their own copy of the AON data, often in an XML
format or similar. The text is still hosted on AON - but you are not limited
to the HTML files for example.

I guess it's a dead end in that case.
Thank you for your time,
Cheers,

There are many references in the license to the distribution point, which is
the Project Aon website.

Hi James,
I'm afraid that the requirement of having the text downloaded from Aon's
website can work for my project.
The architecture of my project relies on amazon storage, and a
domain-specific language. What i was offering to do was to convert a title
to this language.
Also, the app is 100 online and web-based and hosted. There is never any
"download" by the user or any kind of locally installed software.
Does the license have any provisions for these type of architecture ?
Thanks
Mathieu Sylvain

Hi Matthieu,
Good to hear from you!
Lone Wolf lends itself well to adaptation to many platforms.
There are several ideas out there so far:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GDVGames.LoneWolfBiblio&hl=en_GB
https://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/
http://lonewolfadventures.projectaon.org/#terms
https://www.projectaon.org/staff/david/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bulkypix.lonewolf&hl=en_GB
And probably many more!
If you wish to start with Lone Wolf, and wish to use the text from Project
Aon, please note that the book content must be downloaded by the end user
from the Project Aon website - you are not allowed to bundle the text with
your software.
When you have your first prototype, please let us know - we are able to host
and provide support from the fanbase.
Good luck with the project!
James

Hi, I'm a software developer working on an open-source interactive fiction
authoring platform. One of the genre of Interactive Fiction I plan to
support are Gamebooks.
I'm currently looking for a gamebook title to use as a first "sample work"
to showcase the platform.
Can the Lone Wolf titles be adapted to interactive forms other than HTML?
The adaptation to my platform would be "word for word", but the
reading-experience would be a little more subtle than clicking on hyper
links.
I also would not change anything to the rules or pen+paper+dice
experience.
Thanks
