That's not the issue here.The Issue is simple - We're talking about closed content material from WotC.Given the tone that I've seen from a few people that make software for pay (or 'donation'), and their desire to 'import' CMP data sets, circumventing having to obtain a license, I'm starting to lean very heavily to encrypting said data sets very heavily.Nothing wrong with importing the SRD/OGC material that PCGen uses, nothing to prohibit it either, which is the nice thing about the OGL...  Chris imports the character sheets from PCGen and e-Tools, and there's nothing wrong with that... he's not importing the data directly, and he's dealing with final numbers... so he's not 'stealing' the hard work of the volunteers from PCGen to 'fuel his program'... and he's not 'stealing' the data from e-Tools either... the final character is is what he's using to track things in CS...We're talking about someones Intellectual Property (WotC's) and how _THEY_ decide to have that information presented, so please refrain from screaming monopoly at CMP, we're licensee's, we have rights to protect.</blockquote>
