[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 4436656, member: 813"] We aren't lording anything over you. We are asking you to become informed, to not speak with authority about subjects you are uninformed about. I don't think that is unreasonable. I do not understand what you are saying here. How does licenses interact with an industry? The OGL and d20STL are separate licenses covering two unrelated things. The OGL provides license to copyrighted material. The d20STL provides access to trademarks. The only reason they interact is because the d20STL directly references the OGL and has terms and conditions based on content licenesed by the OGL. The d20STL needs the OGL. The OGL does not reciprocate this need. From your earlier writing you did not seem to understand this. This attitude is the only reason I haven't left the thread. The problem is how do we know what you don't know? We know what we know by experiencing it for the last 8 years. It's not like we read a book/website about it. Nor is there a single book/website to point you at. And this attitude makes it hard to stay. If you want to be taken seriously that you want to understand, this sarcasm is inappropriate. Nothing in dmccoy's or my posts have implied we are mountain top sitting gurus of open licensing. Don't treat us disrespectfully if you want respect in return. [/QUOTE]
