[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 203717, member: 758"] we do not have a 'database' per se of information. Each .lst file is loaded into the applicatioin when the user selectes the sources to load. It is then stored in internal memory until released. This way we don't have a proprietary database that can't be run on every OS out there. as for the licensing: We are on a LGPL which is a subset of the GPL license for software. The OGL/OGC issue is complied with by going to the publishers, showing them our works, explaining the benefits of pcgen and what it can do for the company and players alike and then putting the informaiton into a .lst file (list file) and then loaded into the program. This alllows the publisher to see their work in clear unencrypted text layout without a special utility (notepad views it just fine).
