[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4567664, member: 55764"] A question for you Morrus, since you're in this thread and it has tangentially come up. How do you feel about the lack of a web site license for 4e material? I might have missed it, but I don't see anything in the 4e GSL allowing for your hosting on this site material which has elements contained in the 4e SRD. Theoretically they could ask you to take that material down. Whether you or some other member created it. And if I remember internet law, as someone who exerts control over the content of the website, you could be held to be liable for any claims of IP infringement if you do not cooperate and take it down. In the 4e FAQ, they mention some form of website license granting limited rights. Judging by the delay in the GSL, it might be a while until such a license comes into being. Meaning, if they played it that way, they could ask you to remove an awful lot of material. What's your take on it? [/QUOTE]
