[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1037468, member: 1254"] The "challenge wotc in court" answer just doesnt advance the discussion at all. So it is essentially a useless answer. Its like the way hackers say "you wont stop it" in discussions about trademark and copyright violation. Yeah, we know that. We know it is unsettled until tested in court (and as a lawyer I can tell you that even then it wont be settled :) ). To get back on track, I dont think the "declare PI where that PI never appears within the OGC work" approach is effective. I think it is the best way they could come up with to try to PI stuff without using the d20 STL. I just dont think it does what they want. The real question is about versions of the SRD. We all agreed that the "draft" SRD would be finalized later and that we would comply and revise to comply with the finalized version (removing GH gods, removing a few monsters, spell names, etc). But there was a final 3.0 SRD. Now it seems that SRD has been replaced with the 3.5 SRD. I cant find the 3.0 SRD officially on line anymore on the WotC site (if you can find it, let me know). But I think that is problematic. Once the SRD was released as OGC I dont think they can take it back. Meaning, I think we could cite to the 3.0 SRD just as readily as we could cite to the "revised" SRD. Clark [/QUOTE]
