If you say you're following the OGL or the d20 STL, you're going to be forced to follow them. So, if you've got a fan site that's a collection of characters, and they don't claim to be using the OGL or the d20 STL, and they're not charging money, we're going to ignore them."From<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/article.php?a=15" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forums/article.php?a=15</a>NB What this means is that if a site claims to be abiding by the OGL, they WILL ENFORCE THE OGL (they say).  Because the OGL is intended to be a commercial contract, albeit a unilateral contract.  So if you have a fan site you can put NPCs on it & use any materials you want, but NOT if you use the OGL.  The d20 Wiki doesn't use the OGL and complies with this informal policy, which AFAIK still stands.  AFAIK EN World's conversion library does claim to use the OGL (and is thus bound by it) though I could be wrong.</blockquote>
