[QUOTE="FormerLurker, post: 8897489, member: 7031660"] You can't "imply" the SRD. You need to include the full text of the OGL to use the OGL. That's the thing, the OGL is for publishers not fans and homebrew. WotC isn't TSR and doesn't give a toss about fans sharing fan homebrew. 99% of [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/']Unearthed Arcana[/URL] and the D&D Wiki is flagrantly illegal. Ditto the Dragonlance Nexus and Fraternity of Shadows and Burnt World of Athas fan websites. Heck, you could make a case that a lot of the homebrew shared here and copied text violates copyright and trademark laws. WotC could have hit those with C&D and DMCA takedown requests decades ago. But they haven't because going after fans that aren't profiting is needless and PR suicide. The OGL isn't for homebrew and fan content. Fans making homebrew psionics classes don't need the OGL and never did. [/QUOTE]
