Re: Open Source Licensing

<delurk>

Hi!

I just wanted to mention that, even though it's not related to software specifically, there's a wealth of information regarding the melding of open source and proprietary information at www.wizards.com/d20 (specifically look down the right-hand side of the page to the links regarding "Open Gaming") or if you google for "Open Gaming License".

If you haven't already, you may also want to take a look at fsf.org.

Hope that helps!
