[QUOTE="soulcatcher, post: 1181976, member: 5940"] Yeah, you would have to take that up with CMP. I have no opinion about this. RedHat doesn't leach, RedHat contributes thousands upon thousands of man hours to hundreds of open source projects. All they code they publish is under the GPL (or similar licenses). RedHat is an outstanding member of the Open Source community. Selling linux while contributing heavily to it's development is diferent then taking the source, putting it in a closed application, making your own improvements, and selling the result. That is wrong. Thanks :) Devon Jones GMGen Regent PCGen BoD yep, you guessed it, these comments are mine, and mine alone. P.S. about the net book of feats thing? Yes, PCGen did not play by the rules early on. Whoops. it was brought to our attention, and we fixed it, and did significant damage to our userbase to do so. We are now very compliant not just to the letter of the law, but to the spirit. PCGen will pull sources that they have eveyr right to use under the OGL if a publisher requests it, and in the case of the net book of feats, we have done so - at least one person did not want their material included in PCGen, and we complied with that wish - EVEN though we had every legal right to keep it under the OGL.
