I think Martin was trying to say that since the Wizards websites no longer carry this policy it's not clear if Wizards still has such a policy. The internet policy has always been something Wizards has been free to change at their whim - they have no obligation to continue to allow such violations of copyright to continue forever. Now they also aren't likely to drum up the bad publicy of an internet crackdown at the moment. But they could certainly start encouraging fan sites to move toward OGL compliance. And no longer publishing the internet policy would be one way of mildly encouraging that. alec _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
