Even Ryan mentioned this in his earlier message. Trademarks aren't eternal. Once the mark isn't being actively used in commerce it dies. If GDW were still actively publishing Twilight 2000 and refering to it as "the D20 system" they'd be in a position to oppose the granting of the 'd20 system' trademark to WotC. alec _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
