[QUOTE="Knightcrawler, post: 726657, member: 5097"] Okay I'm speaking mainly on PCGen here. I am not a member of CMP so I know very little of what is going on with E-Tools. Here's What we have. E-Tools - Commercial Product THat You Pay Money For PCGen - OPen Source Program That Is Free WotC [B]IP[/B] Datasets - IP Datasets That Are [B]Not[/B] OGC That [B]Both[/B] E-Tool And PCGen Users Will Have To Pay For OGC Datasets - Every Other Source Thats Out There Under THe OGL. If Its OGC Its Freely Used By Everyone. Okay PCGen has always been free and will remain that way. While I don't like the fact that I'm going to have to pay for the WotC datasets anything that gets them back in PCGen is a good thing. And as to a level playing field, please. E-Tools will be worked on by employees of CMP only which unless I'm wrong means 10 at the most. Now PCGen which uses OGC sources can be worked on by anyone. We have about 40 "Official" LST Monkeys that can work on various sources. These are the people with usually at least one source under their belts and lots of experience coding the datasets. Then we have a whole community of people that come in and work on various parts of projects. So just in manpower terms we have at the very least a 4 to 1 advatage. [/QUOTE]
