[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 3428773, member: 10479"] Well, yes and no. Since you aren't even actually using the d20 license and logo at this point, strictly speaking (since you do not use the logo and proper phraseology on the front of the product, though you do utilize some things that the d20 license allows that aren't allowed under just the OGL), you aren't actually violating the d20 license so much as just flat out stomping all over the IP of the company that was kind enough to give you a license to use in the first place. Your misuse of the OGL, some would say, allows anyone to basically stripmine the OGC and redistribute as their own with no attribution to you. Further, distributing the violating material in the interim, on the basis that you have 30 days to address the violations, isn't the proper way to handle this. What you need to do is stop distributing the material until you get things straightened out. If you're going to run with the big dogs, you have to get off the porch. [/QUOTE]
