There are quite a few folks who find it bad already. Looking it over I have to say it is not quite as bad as I at one time suspected it would be, but that said it is still pretty bad. I can't see any reason why anyone would will really want to use this license. As it is I will be locking down my setting wiki today. It will be contributor only readable. Frankly given the tone of the GSL I would expect to get sued by Hasbro just for using the terms that are found in a players handbook.

Looks like the 'fansite policy' hasn't been released yet, hopefully it will clear things up.

Probably. But it is not encouraging.

I think the trick of it is that you aren't publishing your campaign rules as a product. A lot of it seems to be geared to that.

The SRD sucks mightily though.

I suppose the annoyance was I figured if I put enough work into the setting I would clean it up and turn it into something publishable. Maybe do it as a pdf or the like. We all have our delusions I guess.
