[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1483428, member: 6398"] Isn't that because scanning/OCR'ing it and then sending it to you [i]without[/i] editing out the PI and Closed material [i]first[/i] an OGL violation? Whomever did the scanning would have to make it a legal-copy before sending it to you or anyone else; they make a mistake and that copy got into circulation, liability to WotC would be an issue. I don't have a scanner, or I would volunteer for the task. But I don't so I can't. On the other hand... I'd volunteer to transcribe an OGL-friendly section, however; I do it for d20X a bit, already, as well as for my own material, so I've got experience in "getting it right". I'm not keen on transcribing [i]all[/i] of UA, however, being that I'm only using a few parts of it and it's not exactly a small book. I can also set up a private message board for volunteers to discuss issues and post their transcriptions for compiling them together. I just don't want to set it up and be left sitting there by myself with my thumb... Well, you can imagine what I mean, so I'll leave it at that. So, how about it..? Can we get 3-5 more people to indicate their interest in volunteering now so I know setting up the message board is worth it? [/QUOTE]
