PCGen is not compliant and has not even been close to compliant. They have blatantly used non-OGC material for a long time. Anyone who bothered to read the license would know that they werent allowed to use that content. I just cant listen to anyone spin this to say PCGen was even close to compliant. They werent. It is only by WotC's good graces that they exist.
Dont take this to mean I dont like PCGen. I do. I just cant tolerate any suggestion that they were anything other than totally and blatantly noncompliant.
