[QUOTE="Nadaka, post: 4282558, member: 14651"] I have to agree with Festers fact, though not perhaps his presentation. To use the d20 logo or claim compatibility with D&D/D20 modern, you must use the D20 STL. Using the D20 STL also involves a number of restrictions, including not altering the license and provisions you can not include character creation and advancement rules. The D20 STL is being retired, you know it. The grace period exists to allow publishers to deal with their stocks for existing merchandise. This is a new product, why add restrictions when you know that the few benefits will soon be revoked? For your use of OGL: note: section 6 requires you update section 15 in your copy of the OGL. note: you must clearly define what material you are releasing under the OGL and what is not released under the OGL. You can not release the IP of any other company under OGL (for instance, squaresoft/squareenix). The privilege of using OGL material from other sources does not allow you to relicense that material under any other license. I can tell you that the GPL licenses are explicitly incompatible with OGL due to its viral nature. After briefly viewing the creative commons group of licenses, some of them look to be incompatible with the OGL. And I can find no means of defining part of a product as not under a CC license. So its something that you really need to look into deeply. For instance the CC license you chose to use forbids commercial use of your work, the OGL allows the commecial use of your work. That is a conflict. [/QUOTE]
