[QUOTE="Fester, post: 4282040, member: 14945"] Incorrect. It is illegal to modify the d20 logo in any manner. It is [B]not your logo to modify[/B] and is owned by Wizard's of the Coast. You are in breach of the License agreement. The fact that you regard this a moot point highlights your attitude towards the property of others. Since you can't be bothered to find it for yourself, let me quote you the relevant section of the d20STL: Agaiin, your contempt is glaring. Why not just follow the License you have agreed to and, I dunno... do it anyway? You know, follow the law and all that. It isn't optional, but a requirement. Again, let me quote: The bold is theirs, not mine. Does that tell you anything? Probably not. Firstly, you really ought to start reading the License, rather than FAQs, which are not legal documents. Secondly, let me quote you: Given that you had to be told to include a copy of the OGL in your work, I think your point is... moot. No doubt that's as much a part of their reasoning too. Try [I]actually reading[/I] what is said. So I'll quote myself: Which, of course, implies that I think there may well be other reasons. However, the reasons for this are open to speculation, unlike your breaches of contract, which are not. Whether you enjoyed it or not, are doing it for a profit or not, it's any good or not, and so on, is totally irrelevant and if you had any decency about you whatsoever then you'd realise that. Your abuse of the License reflects badly on everyone and makes WotC (and potentially other companies) look upon Open Gaming with less good will. Open Gaming is [b]good[/b] and following the rules helps perpetuate it. Clear breaches of the License, and the clear contempt you hold for the License, is [b]bad[/b] for Open Gaming. So I [I]am[/I] angry about such abuses, as should everyone else who cares about Open Gaming. The material you have used, the logos, PI, trademarks and so forth [B]are not yours[/B]. You [b]do not own them[/b]. You are only borrowing what some else has agreed for you to borrow - and set out conditions for that use. You know, the conditions set out in the Licenses you have't bothered to either read or adher to. I really don't think I could have been any clearer. [/QUOTE]
