jkasonII said:While it is possible that some of the rumors are true, Kingdoms of Kalamar is trademarked and owned by Kenzer and Co., and as such, they had to pay a liscencing (SP?) fee to use the D&D logo. And, by the way, everything that has the D&D logo has to be approved by WOTC (And, believe me, if it didn't, the Goods & Gear book that was just released would have come out almost 6 months before WOTC's Arms & Equipment guide).
No doubt, but the D&D logo itself simply isn't for sale to anyone who wants to use it on their products.
While Kenzer Co. is doubtlessly paying to use it, and must let WotC pre-approve anything it's on, from what I understand the fact that they can use it at all is part of their settlement.
