Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 1819278" data-attributes="member: 172">What's polite is, as the internet continues to prove, very subjective.Now I can understand being polite if a person's culture finds something rude, whether or not I think it's impolite.But now, if we are talking about the realm of a brand spanking new legal license without much cultural background, and someone creates their brand new notion of what's polite and what is not and tries to impose it on me under the guise of being polite, well, it begins to look less like obligation of politeness and more like someone trying to make me submit to their personal nit.To me, there was this big hype when the OGL hit the streets... all about reusing content and growing the body of open game content. That's the promise of the OGL to me. The reason BEHIND that may have been to make publishers support the Skaff effect, but if you want to talk in realms of expectations and not what's in the license, offering this license and then telling me that "well, the license says that, but they really don't MEAN you hobbyists", in essence attached hidden expectations to the agreement, is impolite if anything is.Now I would agree, posting a "UA SRD" the week after it is out and undercutting sales (possibly; I don't know if it really would) would be non classy. But I hear people in the industry testify that reorders are becoming a thing of the past nowadays; I'm not sure after a year it is going to harm anything.Let me be a little more clear. I own UA. Bought it ASAP. But I wan't it electronically because that would be more convenient for my game. I don't want it because I can "get it free."</blockquote>
