[QUOTE="kenada, post: 9415780, member: 70468"] It’s actually worse in a key way: you can’t publish RPG products. Content like [URL='https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Wayfinder_(magazine)']Wayfinder[/URL] would have to be published on Pathfinder Infinite, which means they lose control of their work (because the terms are similar to the DM’s Guild, which prohibits publishing your content elsewhere), but it also means that content can no longer be part of the “virtuous cycle” that the [URL='https://downloads.paizo.com/ORC_AxE_FINAL.pdf']ORC AxE[/URL] claimed is why they needed a new license. (This is starting to smell a lot like open-source projects that convert to a “source available” license.) [INDENT][I]Most of what you could previously do with the Community Use Policy is still permitted under the Fan Content Policy except for making RPG products, which you’ll need to release through the Pathfinder or Starfinder Infinite storefronts (even for free if you want) from now on.
