[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4170430, member: 1054"] However, since under the OGL all Open Content was equal, there was no formal, legal, distinction between the two SRDs -- it was just Open Game Content, identical to that produced by other publishers, or even non-D20 based OGC, like FUDGE and ACTION!, all of which could be intermixed as desired. So this means that publishers must register with WOTC prior to any use of the GSL. How does this interact with non-commercial use, or website use? Suppose I want to put up a web site with GSL material in October, 2008. I use Google Ads to make a smidgen of change from it. Do I need to register with WOTC to do this? Would it matter if I didn't have the ads? How does this work, precisely? Many works under the OGL quoted verbatim text from the SRD -- that was its purpose, things like feat descriptions, spell descriptions, monsters, and so on. Is there an explicit "safe harbor" provision for the use of this text in GSL works? If I use a monster (let us say, Brass Dragons) in an OGL adventure, and I want to publish a Brass Dragon in a 4e version of that adventure, am I allowed to base it on the Brass Dragon of the 3x SRD?
