[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8926250, member: 58172"] Your post misrepresents what I said. I never said, start to "use the Product Identity". I said, reword that content in the SRD that is game rules, concepts, and public domain terms. I also said, an agreement to avoid Product Identity doesnt constitute an agreement that a copyright exists. Indeed, in these cases copyright cannot exist. Again, no one said to start using the terms reserved as Product Identity. However note. The Beholder is an declared a Product Identity. Users of license agree to stay away from the "concept". But without this contractual agreement, the concept of a floating eye is acceptable to describe within the bounds of copyright law. Hasbro-WotC cannot own floating eyes. The contract protected Hasbro-WotC in ways copyright cannot. When reverse engineering the SRD, I dont recommend going after the Product Identity. Focus on the public domain and the game rules. It is unethical to debate me while misrepresenting me. [/QUOTE]
