[QUOTE="Sm!rk, post: 316337, member: 6467"] There is no issue. WoTC owns the IP, they can do with it as they please. The real facts are that pcgen have been commercially exploiting all sorts of IP for the past two years with no say so from the owners. The hoped to exist under the blind eye of a large corp and succeeded, until now. This is so much like a criminal robbing your home, and then falling on your door mat and then suing you. Yeah pcgen lost "their" data, they should have never had that data. If you became dependant on pcgen and dependent on *them* violating copyright, then you have only yourself and pcgen to blame. WoTC owns the material, they sell you that material in books. That is their buisness. What I find funny are group of people that somehow manage to ignore common sense and feel they have a right to pirate material all in the name of Open Source. Which gives open source a bad name and steps all over other legitimate "groups". How about this open source is a portal "copyright violaters software", which leads to full fledged pirating. Whining about how WoTC chooses to control their property is like whining to your neighbor to mow his lawn with the grain. [/QUOTE]
