We're thinking of just creating a "blank" center template, and allow
publishers to do with it as they please.  We'll let the "community decide
what is appropriate for that center logo (if used.)

>> The 100% Open worries me, 

Right, we have someone who was going to try to figure out a way of wording a
[open gaming] license neutral way of saying that all "Gaming Material" must
be Open, to use the 100% Open Text ---- but still allow things like
copyright pages, forewords, designer notes, etc be closed/simple_copyright.

8-)  Well.... WotC legal doesn't seem to think so.


After Ryan's warning yesterday I asked WotC if they could issue me a
"semi-official", non-committal type response/opinion about our Logos.  I
provided them with a link to the Logos
(http://fga.ogexchange.com/articles/All_In_One_2.jpg) and here is a snippet
I received in response from them:


WotC Legal department unofficially states:
>> After looking at their website, [WotC Legal] believes it would be 
>> confusingly similiar in the marketplace and [WotC] would probably 
>> object to the marks use, only because it has dice, it has the number 
>> 20 and it mentions fantasy and Roleplaying games.


We (Free20 Group/Free Gaming Association) are trying to digest what exactly
that means, and wither or not we want to proceed with those names & logos
(Free20 and Open20).

We will definitely proceed with the OpenDie/OpenBox logo, as we feel that
there is no grounds for infringement/confusability there.

If there is interest here, and if everyone agrees that it is "On Topic" I'll
continue to post updates here.
