[QUOTE="BarakO, post: 721634, member: 8850"] So buy it once and maintain it yourself. It is possible, ask all the people who kept the 2.7.3 files and have them working with 4.+ I know you know how to do it, I've been to your website. If it's so hard for you to do that, why would you expect to be given that effort for free from a business??? If it's not that hard, just do it. If you don't want to spend the time doing that, don't cry about having to pay for an update. Plus, what everyone seems to be ignoring is the fact that we're talking about data that WAS NOT LEGALLY AVAILABLE previously, and now will be. OGC/OGL content will continue to be developed and added to, and will continue to be distributed with PCGen for free. To quote JeffQ_UK, a user of the CMP board that seems to understand the options here and summed it up fairly well: *********************************************** I really can't believe that people cannot understand this... 1)If its OGC / SRD, or developed under the GNUPL it IS and always will be FREE 2) If its the IP of any company they have three choices... 2.1) Release it to the PC-Gen community for free distribution 2.2) Release it to CMP for coding and charged distribution 2.3) Keep it to themselves and force fans to hand code LST files 3) If it's the IP of any company you have FOUR choices 3.1) Hope it gets released free to the PC-Gen community 3.2) Buy it ready formatted from CMP at a cost 3.3) Code it into LST format yourself 3.4) Ignore it and continue to use the SRD content that comes with PC-GEN I personally can't see the problem with making one of those choices! *********************************************** [/QUOTE]
