That's probably a good idea, since WotC might take those down permanently any day now, and while it's a stretch of fair use to reprint that information even though it's freely available on the WotC website, it'd be a really dirty move if they sent cease & desists out to people hosting useful but not terribly infringing 3.5e information when they took their own 3.5e information down."No, the stuff on Crystalkeep's past what's reasonably legal. It's impressive WotC hasn't gone after them - probably because they're not a big name. Dunno whether that would happen with 4e or not, since while that is a good deal over the line, taking legal action against your own fanbase is also lame.Homebrews rarely contain the statistics for homebrewed monsters? What? Still, unless they're lying about what they've said before, you can publish stuff on your website under the 4e OGL and everything starting January 1, 2009. Not that most people just hosting homebrews on their homepages care about properly licensing it anyway, since WotC doesn't take legal action against its own fanbase.During their jerk periods, both TSR and Palladium did take legal action against people with homebrew rules content on their personal webpages, though, so it's not totally unheard of.</blockquote>
