Not entirely true. Combat system, standard feats, abilities, character creation in terms of abilities and bonuses. Plus it broadens the appeal of D20 to people that won't touch levels and possibly classes. >Strictly speaking doesn't matter. If you find a loophole, WotC *will* close >it.

If your target >market is those who "vomit at the sight of it", then why do you want to tie >your product to it? Use the OGL. Broader appeal to both markets. Where WOTC and everyone else benefits is that you 'bridge the gap' a little. The PHB is still required for a great deal of information so they don't lose out there, plus there is the possibility of selling other material to people who don't care for levels etc. Reading through the document over and over I think the intention is to protect the level/class system and require referral to it in the PHB. They allow you to replace/amend the chart and create new classes with their own level progression already, I don't think a non-level based one is 'threatening' in that context. Still getting contradictory messages on this one, I think it's going to have to be sorted by talking to them.
