[QUOTE="DarkWhite, post: 521167, member: 9027"] As long as the text is defined as Open Game Content, then you can redistribute that content as long as you abide by the requirements of the Open Game Licence (eg, distribute a copy of the Licence, section 15 Copyright Notice etc). However, The Kalamar Players Guide appears to have been published under special agreement with WotC. It carries the Official Wizards logo, and the OGL is nowhere to be found! Nowhere is the content defined as being Open Game Content. Whether or not WotC or Kenzer turn a blind-eye towards e-Tools usage, it would almost certainly be in a forbidden zone with regards to third-party software apps, as appears to be the case with other WotC published materials, unless they're released under the SRD. IANAL, but that's the way it looks to me. No, I don't think you can assume that. There have been several instances of links being promoted by ENWorld that have since had the content pulled by WotC, particuarly in regards to third-party d20 software apps not complying with the appropriate Licences, usually with regards to the "human readable" clause.
