I think something similar has been going on somewhere in Scandiwegia for years.Now what about doing that for game authors? Some kind of 'self-defense union' where you try to do that "compatible without licensing" deal, pay $1 monthly, get a neat logo to put on your books/PDFs, a decent FAQ, training for compliance editors, and some friendly lawyers stand ready to swoop in if a C&D letter arises, you're blocked on DT or something like that. Countering the implied terror of WotCs lawyers.I mean, it might be easy/legal enough to publish "compatible" documents, but the industry still remembers the early TSR and later Palladium threats and thus isn't very keen on risking things.</blockquote>
