Yeah, it may be the 4E equivalent of using both the OGL and the d20STL. In 3.X, you could go and use both and enjoy the advertising value of having the d20 System logo and the "Requires the use of 3rd edition books" texts, but be limited in some ways (no character creation rules), or you can just use the OGL without those benefits and drawbacks. In the years since the release of 3E, using the d20STL kind of became too much of a drawback, or at least the value of the symbols diminished too much, to be worth the additional hassles the license imposes.Remathilis said:Not necessarily; maybe the license is to play in their sandbox with their IP (Gods, mind flayers, Eberron, etc)?
So, in 4E, the equivalent to the d20STL may get limited to companies that either have proven to be able to produce quality material that was bought, or that are big enough on their own to produce quality material.
