[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 3734147, member: 1308"] The proposal I remember reading from the con was that the "big boys" (Green Ronin and such) would take on a similar role. You could approach them and enter an agreement to have your product published through their company, earning the d20 logo. If they felt your products were of good enough quality over time, they would grant your company equal status, and [i]you[/i] would be able to publish other company's products under your own company name. There's some concern about that, namely the amount of control these companies would have over smaller publishers and the amount of overhead this would drop on them. The alternative (Wizards approving the use of the d20 logo themselves) seemed not to go over well with WotC themselves. Finally, they considered dropping the logo licensing entirely, and just making everyone use OGL-only to sell their product on its own merits, without the marketing association the d20 logo gives to D&D. Right now, the "Big Boys" approach seems to be the best compromise solution. [/QUOTE]
