Which is the point. Why is wizards alowed to treat there copyrighted material that way, but other people are not allowed to treat their own copyrighted material in the same way?On 21 Aug 02, Infinite scribbled a note about Re: [Ogf-l] Publishing under the OG:Thus those with a seperate licensing agreement are getting to use the (100 - xx)% of the players handbook that is not in the SRD as well. They also get to reference material NOT released as OGL yet (most likely, but not positive as I do not know the details of the licenses).I would agree with this except they are using the OGL'd material as well without using the OGL.And they don't have to use the OGL, unless they use something that is derived from it. As the owner of the IP, WOTC has granted a special license (the OGL) for anybody to use that material. They are also able to grant other licenses that allows the use of that same material (from the actual source, not from the OGL versions) along with any other material covered by the license. Remember, the SDR is just a subset of the PHB, DMG, MM, PsiHB, and other products. Those with special licenses are are getting special priveledges, yes, but you are also forgetting that they are also paying for those priviledges as well, through royalties that the folks who use the SRD do NOT have to pay.
Have Fun,
