I removed the following comment from the "Definition" paragraph and replaced it with a note about the fact that many licenses are not compatible:

"(There are those who would quibble with the inclusion of Creative Commons here, largely due to issues of possible incompatibility with other free content licenses; this page is not concerned with those issues, but if you are combining content from many different open games, it is worth thinking about.)"

I think that "quibbling" should better happen in the Discussion page then at the project page itself. ^_^ EDIT: Argh, not logged in, dammit.

I suggest you guys look at [this] collection of freeware RPGs... they don't all have open lisenses but some do. Also, didn't I just read on the forums that d6 was being opened up? And what about Tri-Stat DX? --24.152.203.225 04:41, 17 December 2007 (PST)

[here's] another list of open systems.--24.152.203.225 05:51, 17 December 2007 (PST)

I've added a few that I know are still reasonably active. If 24.152.203.225 wants to check those liks still work and put more on this page, that would be great. 78.52.194.113 11:31, 24 May 2008 (PDT)

Removed the broken link to Perfect20. 78.52.194.113 11:36, 24 May 2008 (PDT)


4C System copyright

4C System has twice been removed because it is a 'copyright violation'. Please cite evidence that this is the case. The 4C System is readily supported by respected publishers and outside of this page I have never heard this allegation. --Sanglorian 23:44, 17 September 2009 (PDT)

Reed himself said it is a derivative of TSR's Marvel Superheroes Adventures Game system. Derivatives of a writen document under copyright is a violation of that copyright. Other retroclones had the WotC's OGL to alow them to make it. No such animal here. --75.151.7.189 13:12, 11 October 2009 (PDT)
