Hi Jacob,
Thank you for asking us for clarification.
As DW pointed out, distributing/streaming a YouTube video of reading
the Lone Wolf books is not covered by the Project Aon License. This
doesn't mean that you cannot do what you plan, only that you cannot do
it under the aegis of the PA License, so you will need another legal
justification for why it is, or is not, permissible.
I hope you'll understand that we at Project Aon can't give out legal
advice. Please seek the advice of an attorney and consider getting prior
approval from the copyright holders.
Best regards,
Jonathan Blake

Thanks for reaching out Jacob before streaming.
I'll let Jonathan Blake confirm but the license is strict in that the
content cannot be redistributed in any form which would include
streams. The intent is to ensure people receive the highest fidelity
of the content.
In reading the license agreement an exception could be made if the
stream/video is entirely hosted on the project site. That's my
interpretation of the license but Jonathan would provide better guidance.
See relevant license section below:
Redistribution includes but is not limited to displaying the Internet
Editions within the graphical representation of an Internet site other
than the Distribution Point. This prohibition includes but is not
limited to the use of HTML 'frames'.
An exception to the restrictions on redistribution in this section is
made in that you may send the Internet Editions or derivative works
thereof to the Distribution Point by the consent of the Maintainer.
Note another thing the license stipulated is no kind of payment for
the content is allowed so if there are ads or other monetization it
could run afoul of that so I believe that's why it would have to be
hosted here.
Thanks again for reaching out and wish the best for your idea!

Subject: Is Streaming/Recording Allowed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello!
I have enjoyed the Lone Wolf books since their release on the
first Amazon Kindle and continue to enjoy them through the Lone
Wolf Saga app. I have recently started getting into YouTube and
streaming and want to do some videos reading and playing text
adventures, such as Zork, Ord, and others. I want to include Lone
Wolf, but am unsure if that would be allowed under the License?
I don't intend on showing every path through the books. It would
be more like a let's play. And of course I would encourage viewers
to come here to read for themselves and donate if possible.
However, I respect the work that you all do here, and if the
answer is no, then I won't, no more questions asked. I'll understand.
Thank you for your time, both in organizing this wonderful
collection and in reading and responding to my question.
Jacob
