We didn't have a completed license when we had early access to the 3rd Edition material. There was an agreement written up called the Gentleman's Agreement that let us know what we could and could not use with the caveat that when the final license comes out, things can change. There is no need for them to finalize that sort of document for us to see the 4th Edition material. I'd imagine the arrangement this time will probably be exactly the same.I would actually be EXTREMELY happy if the new SRD didn't contain all of the text of the rules verbatim and was just of list of what could and could not be used. That would allow Wizards to add new material to the SRD much more easily. I can get all I need by reading the book and through the DI. I know a lot of people will be miffed by me saying that as they want the rules for free. Oh well, as a publisher I'd rather see the SRD evolve through the entire cycle of 4th Edition and allow me to use mechanics from the II, III, and so on core books as they are developed. The SRD was never updated because it was a ton of work. This would make it much easier.</blockquote>
