[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4420014, member: 51747"] Microsoft Office Standard MSRP $239.99 Open Office free to download Google Office free (for now) The OGL and SRD back in 2000 was released to publishers in draft form. It wasn't finished, but there was a gentleman's agreement between Wizards and 3PPs that they wouldn't touch what Wizards said don't touch. If Wizards wanted to be the "champion of the little guy", they could have done the same again. They had the license done enough to announce back in Jan that the new license would be called the GSL. They may have been tweeking it since then, but enough of the basic framework was done to know that it would be vastly different then the OGL. Not only that hte rules were sent off the printer in march. Yet no company saw them until june. Why? They could have sent all the rules off to companies along with draft licenses and companies that wanted to accept it could have more time to playtest their material. For power cards, at best it is ambiguous. For minis and stuff for DDI, thats out. Personally, if they do not allow minis, it's not a big leap for me to believe that a 3PP is not allowed to make cards for use with said disallowed minis (esp if they can be used with the minis game).
