[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4116914, member: 1054"] I'm not sure I follow you. It is *highly* suspect they'll be able to make a 4e Conan product under the terms of the GSL. If Mongoose wanted to, say, updated Quintessential Fighter to 4e, they'd need rights to any 3x material they wanted to upgrade that doesn't currently exist in 4e. This material comes from the SRD, a document to which WOTC owns the copyright. WOTC placed the 3x SRd under the Open Games License -- no other license. To use material from it under 4e, either: a)The 3x SRD would need to be placed under the GSL. Very unlikely. b)WOTC will place the SRD under some sort of custom, one-off license allowing the use of material from it in products released under the GSL, probably restricted in many ways. Much more likely. I would be very hesitant to 'upgrade' any 3x material to 4e while the status of the 3x SRD WRT to the GSL is unclear. [/QUOTE]
