[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4608655, member: 14848"] Actually my understanding is that they just can't sell 3.x material related to anything published under the GSL. So Mongoose could keep selling Conan OGL, but if converted would have to stop selling all OGL versions once completed and made available. Although I know to be safe some publishers are not even messing with the GSL until the final document is released to make sure the clarification is solid. Technically the free disemination of a d20 pdf could be allowed under the terms as long as the purchased product wasn't modified after 11:59pm 12/31/2008 as all products in stock by a store are allowed to be sold until stock is depleated. Since it is vertual there is no depletion of stock and the product would have been created before the expiration date as listed in the announcement. The announcement said they could not sell or publish any d20 material after the start of the year. Giving something away is actually not selling the product. Granted it is better to avoid the legal battle just to prove oneself right which is what WotC is expecting everyone to do. Since GR came out with the 3rd Era logo I see a lot of companies converting over to that to continue sales anyway. Not sure what all conversion needs to be done other than changing the legal statement in the product and the logo. [/QUOTE]
