[QUOTE="Flyspeck23, post: 1038772, member: 10648"] Yes, I know. That's because I wanted to wait until the news is not on the ENWorld frontpage anymore. They're down now. BTW, I thought the cure period was something like 30 days... Something like that, yes. While I think my chances in court wouldn't be bad (but I'm not a lawyer, so how can I tell...), I don't want to risk going to court with them. Heck, I've already wasted enough time on this. So the only possible solution for me is: Amigo tells me it's alright for me to post the handouts. How I can achieve that is beyond me. Maybe a reply by WotC can help, maybe not... Thought so. I've got to be patient (to answer your question: my first eMail was send exactly 24 hours ago, the second was send seven hours later). I'm not quite sure if he's up to it - english language and all. Look at his second mail. He wrote that after I've send him an eMail pointing him to the sources (OGL, D20 System License, ...). All he said on that matter was: "the D20 license differs clearly from the OGL". Maybe I should translate the last paragraph of his second eMail (there are [...] in my translation). Here goes: "Concerning the naming of "Dungeons&Dragons": this is indeed part of the D20 license (but not part of the OGL, mind you, with whitch no connection to D&D and D20 is made / may be made) - in Germany even the reference to the german versions is required." Well, what can I say. [Edit:] In my mail I've pointed Mr. Meyer to "Requires the use of the Dungeons & Dragons(R) Player's Handbook, Third Edition, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc.", as by the D20 System Guide 3.0. Now Mr. Meyer seems to want something added: "and requires the use Dungeon & Dragons(R) Player's Handbook, Third Edition, published by Amigo Spiel + Freizeit GmbH". :eek: [/QUOTE]
