[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4037675, member: 10095"] Let's be clear about this whole thing, since there seem to be some misconceptions about the GSL/SRD, their NDA, and the public launch. Select 3rd-party companies have signed the NDA in order to see the GSL. The GSL is not completed yet, which is why we've seen Lidda tell us that some restrictions will hopefully change, which is why they haven't seen it yet. This means that nobody has paid the $5000, which they only pay [b]after[/b] seeing the GSL and agreeing to proceed with Phase 1. The GSL/SRD goes live effective June 6th, the date the core books are released. This means that every Tom, Dick, and Harry will be able to see the license. This also means that you can look over the SRD and the core books you just bought and figure out the extent of what you can draw upon. However, you will still be unable to publish any for-sale products (they've made it clear that people putting up house rules and non-revenue generating fan material will be in the clear) until January 1, 2009, since you are not a Phase 1 publisher. All of this information (with the exception of clarifications by Le Rouse and Lidda [whose real name I don't want to risk misspelling :P]) is available from their OGL Conference Call announcement.
