Give me a break. There's nothing illegal about the material produced in
compliance with the online policy. If I produced a work relying on the policy
and Wizards sued me, Exhibit A in the court case would be the policy, which
spells out exactly how I can permissably create and publish derivative works
based on your copyrights and trademarks. How could Wizards possibly argue
that I'm infringing on your rights if my work followed your own published
guidelines for online, not-for-profit derivative work?
If your comments reflect the opinion of Wizards of the Coast in regard
to the online policy, I think it's contemptible to encourage people to
create works that the company considers to be illegal. Nothing in the policy
hints at the notion that Wizards believes work in compliance with the
policy is illegal.
