Message: <blockquote data-quote="PapersAndPaychecks" data-source="post: 3014719" data-attributes="member: 28854">Before I start:  I like John Stark on a personal level, and I'm deeply grateful for his support for OSRIC, but his views are his, and mine are mine.  I haven't said what he's said.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  It's possible that I might take a similar position if challenged, but it's also possible that I might not.Another thing I want to get clear is that issues of OSRIC's legality are between WOTC and me, Stuart Marshall, personally.  I'm afraid I'm not going to engage in a detailed debate over my legal position on a public messageboard.The point I want prospective publishers to take from this post, if you take nothing else, is that I'm taking the risks.  Publishers aren't; if they write or produce OSRIC materials, then they're just doing what I've licensed them to do.___________________________________________________________________The remarks attributed to Ryan Dancey up there are a first.  They're completely unlike any comment that's been directed at the system in the past, because they present an intelligible, reasonably specific, consistent statement of where there's an alleged breach.  It's also expressed in reasonably courteous and dispassionate language.I absolutely welcome that.  Remarks like this will strengthen my position, because they give me the opportunity to consider new viewpoints.The only response I'll make in public is this:  There are several matters that Ryan hasn't been able to take into account, because he doesn't know about them.  If I received that comment from WOTC's legal department then I know how I'd respond.</blockquote>
