It's free. You can't charge anything for PCGen. And since it is Open Source you can't use any part of it in something you charge for. So they can't say the current version is free but future versions will cost X (not so sure on that one). Unless they completely rewrite the program.  It seems very unlikely to me that Wizards will invest anything in a product they can't make money on. Maybe they would get around that by charging for new lst files perhaps? I'm guessing the open source license would let them do that.------------------What I wonder is whether the negotiations are to open up the splat books for all third party software developers or is this just a Wizards & PCGen arrangement? I'm hoping it's the former as the later would make a real mess of the already messy software market & licenses.</blockquote>
