[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1030679, member: 1254"] This is just poorly done all around. That original "d20" claim is just lame. I see why they are doing it, of course. The best solution, in a sense, is to add a restriction in the d20STL (the real evil document in the bunch, which I dont know why anyone doesnt gripe about). BUT changing that, as has been pointed out, doesnt bind people who make OGL only (non-d20 STL) products. So they try to stick it in some cheesy PI designation in the SRD. That is all of very questionable validity to my mind. But of course this is not legal advice. I agree with everything John Nephew has said in this thread. It was elegant and simple before (either OGC or not in SRD) and now it is messy. And possibly improper. I also agree that if it was once OGC it cant be made non-OGC. All you have to do is credit both versions of the SRD in your section 5--3.0 for the term "d20" and 3.5 for everything else. :) Clark [/QUOTE]
