Ah, no. Some net books are in fact illegal (or copyright/trademark
violations, same thing). WoTC's online use policy only says "right now,
we will not go after you if you don't attempt to sell it." It's a
_policy_ not a license. They can change it this morning and start going
after folks if they want. Very unlikely that they will do so, but it
_could_ happen.

This, of course, pre-disposes that the Online-use-policy is going to hang
around. I have my doubts about that, given some of the things WoTC
and/or Ryan has said.
