WotC has made it clear they don't want companies to publish the same product under both systems, despite how that'd be more profitable for other companies; other companies, however, are certainly not to be faulted for doing what's best for themselves.I've never claimed to be affiliated with EN Publishing. I've freelanced for them in the past, and that's all.Actually, the quote above is me poking fun at the implied threat of legal action just because I posted about how to theoretically sidestep that particular GSL restriction. Because really, just musing about doing that on a public forums isn't even close to being actionable in a courtroom.Well, I can't speak for what WotC would do in that regard, and neither would you, but I'd be surprised if they did try to do that, and even more surprised if their stance in this extremely hypothetical instance was anything other than trying to win by attrition, since they have deep pockets. However, such a "publisher" who tried to "dance" around the "GSL" could possibly get a "ruling" wherein they "weren't" found to be "in" violation of the "restrictions," "thus" setting precedent "that" other "publishers" could follow."<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />"</blockquote>
