[QUOTE="Hollywood, post: 780865, member: 7408"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Thank You and more . . .[/b] Sorry, I disagree. Anyone whose written anything on the SRD dropped Wizards and asked them for permission? Doubtful, at least not these days. And Monte's is only one voice on the matter and its his opinion. A sign of respect is to give your fellow creatives, whether it be tabletop game design or open source software, the proper credit where credit is due. That is respect. The other is a personal perference, but may be a nightmare if the other party involved isn't prompt in answering queries, etc. But it bottom line, as long as you give the proper copyrights, the author of the material by certifing all or parts of it has Open Gaming Content has given anyone the right to use it as he or she feels fit without the need for consultation. Giving notice to someone that you've used that material could be considered common courtesy [it doesn't need to be capitalized btw], sure. And is probably a good thing to do. However, its not the same thing as asking for permission to use something the author has already, through a blanket license, given you the permission to use. That all being said, I did ask for permission to use some OGC material for a piece I was intended to throw out, as OGC, to the public.. but never have due to lack of time. And I did get a fair response, so wasn't a big deal. However, that being said, I am planning to do some stuff with the MMSuperLink [akin to a less limited d20 license] that GreenRonin put together... but I'm not going to ask them for permission. However, I will drop Steve Kenison a note when I'm close to tossing it out to the masses just to let me know for his own amusement. And to end this with a something that pertains to the topic... I think having the community put together a high-quality, such as GR did with their M&M Errata [which is far better than WotC has done], SRD for M&M would be a great thing. [/QUOTE]
