If you wanted to use Fuzion for a commercial product it cost money for the license. Also as I recall you can't reuse someone else's Fuzion material in yours. That doesn't strike me as very Open, just as a good fan policy. FUDGE is admittedly much closer to being Open, but it's more metasystem than system and has weird dice. While I like the system I don't think it has mass appeal. _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
