The answer apparently is yes. My question was related to whether I or other fans not related to PCGen were now allowed to distribute this material in PCGen format. The answer was no, since WotC was not allowing the distribution in PCGen format.My more recent point is I am now seeing non-WotC material showing up on these sites (and I mean material that was published by others and not individual fan creations). I would like for whoever complains about PCGen distributing material without permission to look at these other sites as well and hold them to the same standards for aquiring permission. I am not complaining about WotC material being distributed, since they seem to be allowing it. But I have seen nothing that implies that Bastion Press, Sword & Scorcery, Necromancer games, Malhavoc Press or anyone else has given permission for thier files to be distributed in e-tools format. If by being OGC no permission is needed then remember that PCGen could use this standard as well but actualy has higher standards. I will put in a good word for WotC since I have not yet noticed any non-WotC material being distributed on thier boards.</blockquote>
