[game_edu] inquiry from the press

[Monjoni Osso]

Ohio University retains ownership of student projects, but the university
will publish student projects and provide hosting for them (eg
www.chromaticagame.com).  For projects done on the students' own time,
rather than as part of a class, I do not believe that OU retains ownership.
