[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4515025, member: 2209"] Sigh. Copy and paste publishing was really useful to me as a DM and player. [url]www.d20srd[/url] was easier to use (for the stuff in the srd) than the WotC rtfs or my books in my online games. We all have/had varying levels of D&D books but the copy and paste online stuff was used as a reference tool more often. But now no srd.com for 4e, no free 4e WotC srd, and it is not clear what publishers and authors can actually do and not do under the GSL. This is to prevent what? Online srds that compete with DDI? Pocket srd books that compete with actual core books? Mutant and Masterminds style variant games that don't require D&D books to use? I think the ambiguities are one good area to revise in an effort to improve the GSL but I wish the underlying goal of avoiding copy and paste publishing were eliminated and all the resulting limitations that resulted from trying to accomplish it.
