[QUOTE="buzz, post: 1425594, member: 6777"] Because the d20/OGL was put forth by an entity which has billions of dollars to use to sue you into the stone age? :D All I think Rich is saying on this point is, if you're not a lawyer, don't offer legal advice (which is distinct from participating in a discussion that involves legal issues), and if you're a budding game mogul, don't rely on some yahoos on a Web forum to provide you with legal advice when you're seriously trying to start a business. The same probably goes for building a business on GPL/LGPL products. Seems to make sense to me. :) [/QUOTE]
