[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1339108, member: 533"] Perhaps, but there are those who think differently. Besides, Green Ronin built their company on early yet good-quality [i]d20[/i] products to earn their company recognition among the gamer community. It is enough to gamble on making OGL-based games. Their gamble is a success. Other OGL-based games is banking on a different kind of recognition. For example, [i]EverQuest[/i] RPG which is based on a very popular and most recognized computer MMORPG brand. That's good for you, but it is not restricted to that alone. That is your prerogative, but when you agree to use the license, you better stick to the terms or you'll have Wizards send you a nice legal letter stating your violation and to cure it within 30 days, or else face a serious matter. It is a myth really. Even if you're not doing it for the money, [b]distributing[/b] something that is not yours is a serious violation of the standard copyright law. IOW, that author can take you to civil court and collect damage because the law is on his side. Of course, see my sig. [/QUOTE]
