It meant that there was a pile of material, some good, some bad, some inbetween to choose from when running a game. It also meant that eventually I got to be a published author since the d20 license encouraged a lot of third party publishers to pay people to freelance. I wrote for those that I wanted to work with. Once Wizards got a little freaky over d20, and everyone went OGL, I continued to write and play the game.The d20 license was very specific. If memory serves, I only contributed to a couple projects that used that license. It was originally easily confused with the OGL. As a writer, it meant that I had to careful a) not to reuse Wizards IP and b) that I had to provide cites under the license occasionally.The very very cool thing about the OGL more than the d20 license was that you could reuse other people's material, taking nifty bits here and there that fit in with what you were doing.</blockquote>
