My Google-fu has failed me epically. I have a question I'm sure has been answered a thousand times. But I have yet to find a documented answer.
It's old news that WotC terminated the d20 Trademark License in regards to the use of the Revised 3.5 SRD. Without that license, you cannot reference specific WotC trademarks by name.
The conundrum comes with the contributions to the SRD from Unearthed Arcana. How does one legally reference those rules? They don't come from the Core Rulebooks (I, II, III), but they are open content. However, the name "Unearthed Arcana," in and of itself, is a WotC trademark.
So how? How does one cite the source of the rules from the Unearthed Arcana within the main text a publishable document? I know you cite it by name in Section 15 of the OGL, but I'm talking about the main text of the document itself.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
