<< I have been going over and over the www.wizards.com site all night and the archives of the ogc mailing lists. >> Great start! Thank you. << My current understanding is that the d20 logo CANNOT be used for software, so I'll just forget about it. >> Good enough. There might be SOME software that can slip through the "interactive game" filter; but you're most likely correct that yours can't. << However, the Open Game License explicitly mentions software, so as long as I only use OGL content and don't use the d20 logo that I MIGHT be okay. >> Great Big IF: if you can clearly indicate what OGC you use and contribute. There's a vast array of opinions on what that means in regard to software. << Finally, the contents of the System Reference Document (SRD) are covered under the OGL. Since the SRD contains the main lists of treasures/magic/items/etc. as long as I don't include the character/experience info (which is EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN in multiple places on the website) I should be okay as long as I include the license. >> Actually, character creation and experience are only forbidden under the d20 license, which you already plan to forego. << Does this sound right to everyone (or anyone)? >> Deal with the Great Big IF in a way that makes you and your attorney comfortable, and you're on the right track.
