[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 1113698, member: 1054"] Sorry. Doesn't wash. 100% pure boilerplate which in no way explains, justifies, or excuses the sudden transition from a license which I reglarly defended against detractors who saw dark corporate conspiracies in every corner to a license which makes all of those conspiracies seem far more plausible. WOTC has given itself the arbitrary power to basically destroy any D20 publisher at whim. Speculation that such power will only be used "for niceness, instead of evil" is not sufficient. At *best*, the clause needs a time limit on review and a mechanism by which a publisher can compel WOTC to review and provide a 'thumbs up/thumbs down' on any product prior to release and in a timely (<1 month, I'd say) manner. Otherwise, this clause is nothing but a time bomb, waiting to go off whenever any person -- for let us not forget, this entire fiasco is about revenge on one man -- annoys anyone at WOTC and/or Hasbro.
