[QUOTE="smetzger, post: 4216591, member: 1230"] eh, very much agree that they will not go after a forum. But what about a site that posts all the open content, or whatever its going to be called? What about a site that creates a random NPC generator that is way better than WOTCs, and everyone uses it? What if someone creates something better than the the digital initiative and WOTC gaming table? What is a fan site? Is EN World a fansite? Or is EN world a publishing company? IMO, if you post articles or rules on your site and its possible to use the GSL for those articles or rules you might as well use it. Unfortunately, there are lots of interesting and community useful things that will probably not be allowed under the GSL. What will WOTC do about character generators and other programs online? What if WOTCs electronic stuff is good(and they want to charge $10/month) but your is comparable and you offer it for free? What about conversions of previous D&D edition material? What if 100 people get together and decide to convert Eberon and they don't want to use WOTCs DDI to post here information (which would give WOTC rights to everything they posted)? What if tis conversion is really good, freely available, and ready months before the WOTC book? Just a lot of what ifs, and potential for WOTC and fans to have rift since WOTC has not supplied specific guidelines. [/QUOTE]
