I mean, no, it's this YouTube guy.

From what's provided, it's not an executable document. There's nothing to sign.

It's no longer an "authorized" license according to the propaganda (i.e. "commentary"). This is going to give me an aneurism.

Hard to follow when he's scrolling through while shilling his products and otherwise rambling, but it confirms that the "commentary" (propaganda) is mixed in with the actual license language. The Gizmodo writer did in fact quote propaganda and characterize it as license language. And, for...

Sounds like you're talking about Stewart Wieck. He and his brother, Steve, founded White Wolf which then merged with Lion Rampant (Tweet, Rein*Hagen, Stevens).

Do they need to apply separately for injunctions on different grounds? For example, if they claim... 1. The license doesn't say it's irrevocable, so we can revoke it. 2. Notwithstanding (1), this publisher violated the terms of the license agreement. 3. Notwithstanding (1) or (2), this...

That's one way of putting it, but I think it leaves out the best parts IIRC. TSR's complaint of trademark infringement didn't go anywhere...except that Mayfair was persuaded to settle it with a royalty-free license from TSR to use the trademark in specified ways. A few years later, TSR sued on...

I love Tenkar's Tavern, but this is unwatchable. :D I skimmed through it and it doesn't sound like he disclosed anything we didn't know from the Gizmodo article. Is that accurate?

I hate all this speculating about who has "sold out." First, it's speculation and rumormongering. Second, I said it before and I'll say it again: It's easy for us to talk about "selling out" when it's not our business, employees, and investors on the line.

Never heard of it. Listen, man, I know you're into it and everything, and that's cool. The guy might be spittin' straight truth (trying to sound young and hip, here). But to my ears, what you're saying is one step away from "Q isn't speculating, he's dialed in, he's on the inside, he knows...

Sounds like he'd be a great source for a real journalist, but he's not a journalist. He is raking in that SuperChat money, though.

And what sources is he citing? I'm sorry, I'm probably just old, but these guys speculating and rumormongering on YouTube while that "SuperChat" money is dinging every few seconds...I don't trust any of it and never will.

That's fine, but when the article states things like this... The article claims that "the new agreement states..." but then goes on to quote language that is clearly, even to this non-lawyer, not legal language from the license itself. This is not commentary that we should expect to appear in...

The Gizmodo reporter claimed to have the actual text of the license. Even then, what we were actually seeing was, at best, her excerpts from the draft. And of course, it's possible that she misinterpreted what she was given as the actual text of the license. It seems clear that some 3PP were...

Agreed. It does seem that character creation rules are included in the Pathfinder Reference Document and are therefore designated as Open Game Content. Hopefully they were written from scratch with no Players Handbooks in the room and don't reproduce anything that a court would construe as...

I wouldn't even begin to guess, and honestly, I wouldn't be qualified to really make judgments anyway. I think probably...not that uncommon. But it's just also completely uncertain, at least to me, what a court would find to be copyright infringement. Are the character creation rules in...

Y'all are going to irritate the OSR guys right out of the alliance. :D

I believe if a publisher (1) uses material not designated as Open Game Content (i.e. possible copyright infringement) and then (2) designates that material as OGC, that would be a breach in a case where the court affirmed the copyright infringement. This is very likely IMO where a publisher...
