As such, I won't be able to reply again for a few days.We're not "encouraging" anything. For DDI non-subscribers, there is no license agreement that must be accepted, so it's a non-issue. For subscribers, the text you quoted refers to a "Program", for which the long-established meaning does *not* include websites, so either Wizards is redefining established terms or the reference focuses on elements like the Character Builder *program* (which we don't touch). If Wizards is trying to redefine entrenched industry terminology, then the choice lies with the individual user. And now they at least have a choice.Hero Lab provides a great deal of functionality that the Character Builder does not. In-play support, multiple simultaneous characters, tactical management for GMs, *EASY* extensibility for users to add their own custom material, and a whole lot more. Hero Lab accomplishes this in an intuitive fashion, with fast performance and a comparatively tiny disk/memory footprint. Until the Character Builder catches up, Hero Lab offers a lot of benefits that some gamers will want to exploit for their 4e games. The downloader gives them the choice.</blockquote>
