[QUOTE="see, post: 4320615, member: 10531"] There is nothing to think about because the GSL doesn't actually have any terms to consider. It's revise-at-will, terminate-at-will. You either trust Hasbro not to pull the rug out from under you, or you don't. The text of the license is irrelevant, because they can change every single term overnight. You need to get questions answered? Less than two weeks ago you were told that the reason the SRD was delayed was they were adding PHB II material to the SRD. I have no reason to believe that the people who gave that answer were lying . . . but that doesn't change the fact that there is no PHB II material in the SRD. Why expect answers about the GSL to be any more reliable? Maybe you do trust Hasbro. But don't delude yourself that there's any point in examining the license; it has no guarantees and no reassurances. Publishing under the GSL is an act of pure faith. And [I]that[/I] is why people are considering ways to get around the GSL. Because even the murky quagmire of fair use looks to many of us like much more solid ground than trusting in what a Hasbro-appointed executive is going to see as Hasbro's business interest in January 2011.
