Right. With NWN's we have access to the FR and D&D rights but the chars, places, names, etc. are all copywritten. I know this because a BG project was tried with NWN 1 and when asked, the devs said that it'd be violating CW laws.
Now with that said, there are many mods out there that are basically NWN conversions of other games, such as BG1, Icewind Dale and Final Fantasy. I think the case is that unless they are actually approached and asked, a blind eye is turned to such things. I myself would play a BG conversion in a second, just for the nostalgia aspect. But, the more hype there is over this mod the more likely the chances it will get pulled.
