Message: <blockquote data-quote="trancejeremy" data-source="post: 1095424" data-attributes="member: 924">The OGL is simply a license that allows material to be released for re-use by others. The d20 STL is a license that lets people use the d20 System Trademark and logo on their products.The term "OGL" has been used sloppily by others (including some companies that know better) to be sort of a backhanded way of referring to d20, without having to abide by the restrictions of the d20 System Trademark License. They use OGL (wrongly!) because they cannot use the phrase "d20 System" (at least, that's what WOTC's lawyers think), yet still want to convey the idea that they use the d20 rules, more or less.You can do whatever you want with the SRD, as long as you abide by the terms of the OGL, since it's been released under the OGL. The d20 STL is a lot more restrictive. Basically, if you want to use the d20 logo on a product, you can't explain how to create characters, or how to level them up (among other things).(Also, please note that Oathbound and T20 both use the d20 logo.)</blockquote>
