True enough, but the definition as is doesn't say "gaming rules", it says
"rules". In makes not direct correlation to gaming rules or the d20 SRD. I
definately would not feel comfortable interpreting it the way you say, and
all that matters in court is what the document says no matter who said what
in what other medium. It can be argued later that the individual simply
misinterpreted it.
