Ok...as far as the dieties - give them at least a little leeway. They just decided to become OGL & D20 compliant at GenCon. Heck, even the OGL gives them a month after publishing something under the OGL, and they have had all of 2 weeks - moch of which has been spent re-programming the basic...

Of course. That would do you no good. The discussion was purely theoretical at that point, discussing whether PCGen was legally defensable in their decision to include sources from WotC that were not in the SRD. I just happen to think that the law is indeed on your side. So discussions of...
