[QUOTE="Strutinan, post: 1118567, member: 9267"] Actually, this has already been beateninto a fine red mist elswhere, by many people who ARE lawyers (including my own). The following terms are FREE GAME, and can be used LEGALLY: d20 (just not "d20 System") OGL SRD 3.5 3.0 Edition System Reference Document PHB (is not listed as Product Identity or Trademark) DMG (is not listed as Product Identity or Trademark) MM (is not listed as Product Identity or Trademark) Mix-and-Match to your heart's content :D You see, all the d20STL REALLY does, and all it ever was intended to do, is give free advertising for WotC's "Dungeons & Dragons" product line, while indicating compatibility with that product line. What hasbro is TRYING to do is gain control over the market by use of a "Family Friendly" kill clause in the only license they actively control: the d20 STL. The OGL is a wonderful thing. It's stable of material (the SRD) can only be ADDED TO, not REDUCED! If the 4.0 version of the SRD is labeled non-OGL....who cares? We still have the pool of resources that all previous versions of the SRD provide, as well as the OGC from otehr sources! And soon, it looks like we will have an altarnative compatibility logo as well! [/QUOTE]
