I won't jump your case... *grin*
...BUT the OGL has NOTHING to do with the D20L. Let me repeat this...NOTHING. The d20 DOES require you to contain a minimum OGC within your book and WotC has released _portions_ of the SRD as OGC. OGL has NOTHING to do with D20 though. In fact it allows you to make a completely NEW, yet compatible game to say...D&D WITHOUT stamping it D20. Example: Steve Jackson Games releases GURPS under OGL. Is has NOTHING to do with D20, but it is OGC. Anyone could then make a GURPS compatible book (thought the GURPS trademark/logo could not be used. So what of all these products that WILL be or those products that are compatible with but NOT D20? They are OGL and nothing else. That is what I am talking about.

Would we stand behind an open gaming logo? I suppose we would, but is it really necessary? My point being is that we already have the d20 logo so what makes an OGL logo any different? It seems to just muddy the waters and dilute an already diluted market. However, if there was a standard set up that set d20 content apart from OGL content I'd think you'd have a better sell. That is why I suggested the mandatory 25% open gaming content to use the logo. Now the logo stands for something. That has value to us. Another logo that means the same thing as d20 honestly doesn't. Maybe I'm not getting you here and if I'm not pardon please pardon my ignorance. -- Jeffrey J.
