I just read paizo's Agreement and they basically say that you can't publish
a game for Stonehenge unless you first publish it on their library, so it
seems (if they have a legal right to enforce it) that  a Ice-Henge game is
not possible even  if published on the icehouse wiki.

And by submitting the game to their library you give up your copyright on
the rules... Here's an extract:

"3. Agreement to publish
The rule set must be submitted to the Library prior to any other
publication. Paizo may publish the rule set on the Library, where it will be
freely available. The rule set may be subsequently republished on other
websites or in other publications by parties other than Paizo, but these
publications and websites must provide the rule set free of charge and
without restriction. Subsequent publications may use the PDF version of the
rule set as published in the Library."

And:

"5. Agreement not to contest
You agree not to contest ownership of the submitted content. By submitting
the rule set under this agreement, you are freely transferring the copyright
of the rule set to Paizo. Paizo retains the sole discretion of whether your
rule set will be posted on the Library, and whether it can continue to be
published in any form. Paizo may subsequently modify and/or republish it in
any form, including as part of a commercial product."
