[QUOTE="pedr, post: 4015393, member: 33464"] I've not checked back, but I believe that there are/will be areas of Gleemax which have more 'submitter-friendly' conditions of use specifically for the use of other publishers: contrary to comments above, WotC's stated aim is to encourage publishers of all games to contribute to Gleemax and have claimed to have put some thought into a form of words that will satisfy those publishers in respect to their company's page(s). So there'll be two 'sections' of Gleemax: a 'consumer' one where WotC Legal is concerned that people will post rules items and ideas (which might go unread by anyone in the development teams) which are then developed 'in parallel' leaving them potentially open to a time-consuming rights-battle; this form of words prevents the battle, and a 'publisher' one where actual game manufacturers (defined in some fashion by WotC) only have to grant a more limited license to WotC - at least a license to allow them to publish the material on Gleemax.
