Used to be the creator of this site (what was his screen name again?) couldn't mention "Risk" because he was involved in a kind of cat-and-mouse game with the owner of the game (Hasbro?) over patent/copyright issues. It looks like that has been resolved. Can someone fill me in?
I don't think there was every any formal resolution.
For a while there was a big panic to erase all mentions of Risk from the website in preparation for the threatened lawsuit from Hasbro. By around 2015 it was obvious that no lawsuit was coming, and people just stopped worrying about it.
I think as CC shrunk, and continues to shrink, the cost/benefit analysis for anyone to waste time suing us has swung in our favour.
