Well, so much for 4e PDF's

PDF's are advertised on and sold through website - and while it may not be WotC's intent this legal phrasing effectively bans PDF's outright. It also puts all D&D fan sites in legal limbo and bans them from carrying any elements of 4e. As I said before, when does ENWorld get it's cease & desist? I was being sarcastic, but the more I think of it I can't escape the conclusion.

interactive products,

Indefensibly broad. Interactive product can refer to any toy or book since you interact with it. "Interactive electronic products" is more to the point - I'm not a lawyer but I can see that much.

miniatures,

Fair enough.

or character creators;

At one point Scott mentioned the GSL would be no more restrictive on this than the d20STL was. Well, plans must have changed.

(b) describe a process for creating a character or applying the effects of experience to a character;

So new classes are right out since their description requires you explain what benefits the class gives at each level - gotcha.

(f) be incorporated into another product that is itself not a Licensed Product (such as, by way of example only, a magazine or book compilation).

Or be hosted on a website right? Well, I hope no one posts any 4e GSL licensed stuff on the board.

I had at one point actually started looking forward to using 4e. I can't now. It is important to me to be able to use all my skills in the creation of materials for my players and setting - this especially includes my programming skills. 4e is no longer available to me. Long live the OGL.
