He could do basically what PF does and create something CLOSE to a 4e clone. He just isn't going to be able to call it 4e compatible or paste in text from WotC products. OGL was a nice concept but GSL doesn't allow this kind of thing. He might be able to do something using GSL but it would also be somewhat trickier since you aren't allowed to change existing material (maybe you can make a variant of the fighter, but you can't rewrite the existing fighter class). I suspect one might be able to walk that line with the implicit understanding that the material is INTENDED to stand alone, but you still can't change certain things like character advancement rules. Sure as heck can't use WotC trade dress.Honestly though, my impression from bit of random skimming I did that like other 4e house rule sets I've seen it is both annoyingly too much and at the same time annoyingly too little. If I'm going to play a totally nonstandard variant I might as well go the step further and rewrite the core rules to fix what ails them and just call it what it is, a different game.</blockquote>
