[QUOTE="Gnal, post: 3391509, member: 8384"] Correct, PCGen voluntarily removed the content that WotC said was IP. Yes, what you say is correct, maybe it was fair use, maybe it was game rules, etc. *However* (and you knew there would be!) - a) If WotC had complained to Yahoo that their IP was being infringed, *most* likely, the groups would have been deleted. b) Same with Sourceforge, probably. They would have pulled the project, or at least the data portion of the project since at that time the code & data were separate (I think). c) Merton Monk (PCGen originator) might have been taken to court if the data had not been removed, and at least in the US, being right does not always mean you win. You have to have lots of money in order to win if your opponent wants to make it difficult for you. And *nobody* on the Yahoo group, especially the most vocal complainers, ever volunteered to put their money where their mouths were. -- david [/QUOTE]
