The "True20 romantic" srd is actually illegal and Green Ronin has asked that guy to take it down. He hasn't. GR never released an SRD for the True20 system because the entire core book is the "SRD" (with a few minor exceptions). Paizo is still undecided about whether or not they will be doing an SRD. Their rules are going to be OGL so there is no real need for an SRD. Personally, I don't feel they should, but that's not my call. I'm guessing they'll release "something" in the end simply because if they don't, someone else will.  The term SRD gets thrown around by those that don't understand it. The guy that you're referring to doesn't understand it. The core idea of an SRD is so that you can make all your books closed content while still releasing OGL material. Others think that all OGL material belongs natively in an SRD. That is a bad business idea. Those that just want the game mechanics would download a product's SRD and never buy the book. Wizards specifickly never released enough information to completely make the PHB irrevilent.  Of all the SRDs I've ever seen, my favorite is Mongoose's Traveller SRD. It doesn't give away the Traveller core book, it allows 3PPs to make compatable material. I call it a "Smart SRD". Wizards 4E SRD tried to go with a similar idea, but they went to skimpy. They just released a bunch of words you could use. Mongoose's said, "Do this and you'll be compatable with our material.  Oh and here's the skill system, combat system, ship creation system, and planet creation system if you want to make your own game."</blockquote>
