The reason most have not heard of Andy is because people who have written programs have been talking to him directly and keeping him too busy to come out from his closet where he hides with his computer. We just let him up for air this week before he keeled over from exhaustion. :D Really, if...

Re: code notes Yeah, they're rewording. But I'm going to go out on a limb here... I think that what you will see is a rewording that will still leave a good bit to interpretation and will thus be a "work in progress" as opposed to the be-all, end-all license regarding software. One reason I...

Just a suggestion I understand why you might need to have the time to vet the reviews for more than a week. But a suggestion...(granted, I don't know the full process of making sure the reviews are ok) Is there any way to mark the reviews as having passed that look over so we know whether they...

Thanks Andy. I want to add that this is a basic description and these are just the most common infringements. When you really start to dive into the licenses it gets much more complicated very quickly. You must look at the WotC license AND the licenses for the programming language(s) and...

WotC and their processes of vetting It is difficult, at best, to describe what you go through to "pass" their examination of your product. Though I think Luke did a decent job of it. And you don't get any type of "official seal of approval" which has everyone confused. But think about it, there...

I was updating our product page today and was going to link to the review someone had written about Campaign Suite on this site. When I went to look up the link, it was gone. I know that one review was deleted because it was way too short and didn't really qualify as a review. Can anyone tell...

The main problem with doing this has been getting anyone to come to a consensus on the XML DTD. There is a group working on it. I just wouldn't hold my breath.

There are other considerations, as well, that are discussed on the OGF lists and apply to programming specifically. One item that comes to mind is license compatibility. Using software libraries and licenses can make the material in the program be considered to be derivative of those libraries...

Don't get snippy. I'm trying to be helpful. There's no cause for a statement like that on these forums. Posting my gameplay resume or my job resume is not a requirement for the use of these forums. If you have a problem with me then PM me or email me. I was simply pointing out that not...

As I mentioned in one of my other posts that was probably too longwinded for some, nobody has to conform to the OGL under one condition... If E-Tools enters in a separately negotiated licensed with the actual owner of the material that they wish to include, then the OGL does not apply. In...

Ok...cool. That's great. But now you need to tell us which is open and which is not. It's the "clearly marked" thing coming back to haunt you. Your declaration on the website is saying "All original material on this page and on pages linked to it (other than off-site links) is released as Open...

Actually, Fluid developed E-tools from a completely separate license they purchased, I believe. That is the reason they do not play by the d20/OGL rules. But the really funny thing about it is that unless they negotiate separate agreements with publishers who publish OGC using the OGL then they...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Other publishers' material in E-Tools? Nothing officially yet, but this shouldn't really be a surprise. We announced we were in talks with some publishers regarding licenses when we announced we were dropping the d20 logo and license last month. Don't worry... when it's...

You're absolutely right about this Luke. People are being given a wealth of information in this thread. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it. One caveat regarding the OGL lists. The OGL list archives are full of information, though you do need to read them carefully. Just as people...

One thing the others forgot to mention is that if the program is solely for your use, you don't have to worry about these things. If you distribute it to others in any way, shape or form whether it's free or not then you do have to worry about them. WotC takes what some would consider to be a...

Wil, would it help if the site had elf pr0n on it? I mean...would you feel less lonely there? :D

Actually, no this was not putting a positive spin on anything of the sort. Though I'm the first person who will admit it's putting a positive spin out there. You don't do press releases or announcements with a negative spin. We knew some people would think this was the reason. In fact, we...

Chris is out of commission for a couple days, so I'm responding to these for you. No, there is no problem with CS and mastertools. Not even sure where this thought comes from.

lol...I agree, Mark's is definitely prettier. To add to the brainstorming session... Chris, what if we offered both solutions in Campaign Suite plus the straight SRD released list plus offer a gui where people could rename them using proper names that suit their own campaigns? We could put the...

Oh...and the d20 system guide is what tells you how to use the d20stl. So it looks like you were asking specifically about the SRD. I'm sure they'll update the d20 system guide in an ongoing basis as they change their minds about things in the d20stl. There's always talk about adding to the...
