[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 3791418, member: 6616"] Their motivation, and probably the basis of their assessment, is that they have a business to run. And even if you say it's totally risk free to publish OSRIC material, I wouldn't base my business and my livelihood on that analysis. There are those who say it is totally risk free, there are those who say they'd rather not take that risk. And the risk is theirs to take, regardless of your analysis of the situation. Unless you are prepared to guarantee that your analysis is correct, and back it up with an insurance against any problems occurring in the future. Because then it would be your risk to take, and you could even make money on it, since your assessment is that that is no risk at all. So those who are worried could buy your insurance, to protect them from the risk they aren't wiling to take today. /M [/QUOTE]
