Its an opportunity for a company to say, "Hey, I think you may be infringing on my rights."Some times they are clearly right, such as WOTC sending letters out to some companies who had to say, "Crap! We better pulp these right away!"The letters in and of themselves are not proof of guilt/wrong doing.Plus WOTC only has/had 3 years to do anything about OSRIC. If that time frame has passed, then OSRIC cannot be touched simply because the statute of limitations has run out.Anyways, I know certain lawyers around here said they think OSRIC is illegal, however WOTC's inactivity towards OSRIC is far stronger proof that it isn't. Especially since WOTC and OSRIC had legal communication and nothing went to court.Plus, if it is 3 years past this initial communication, its a moot point. WOTC can no longer do anything about OSRIC itself. They only have 3 years to take action, by law. In the US, anyways. So if its been 3 years, then anything done via OSRIC is as legal as anything else. In the US.Also, Goodman Games has NEVER done their 1E products via OSRIC. They did it via copyright and maybe the OGL. I'd have to pull them out to see if there is even an OGL in them.</blockquote>
