Selecting a race or class seems pretty hard to hide as the
descriptions of them are in the SRD.
Also, would WotC pursue legal action or otherwise try to stop

This would apply only to the STL, right? I could create software
not using the D20 trademark but using the open content in the SRD,
correct?
