Boy, there has been a ton of discussion over the terms of the new Game System License (GSL). Perhaps the most surprising is that Wizards of the Coast has pulled the rug out from under publishers using the d20 System logo. They have until the end of the year to sell what they can, and then they’ve got to scrap the rest!

Here’s the money quote from Scott Rouse:

“The license ends in June 2008 so publishers will stop using it at
that point. There will be a sell off period through the end of 2008
for publishers with stock in their warehouses. Product that is sold
and sitting in a store or distributor is considered sold and fine.
There will be no recall of product sitting in the channel.

“The major downside is for publishers who have so much stock they
can’t move it in six months. For those who that is the case I suspect
they have larger problems.

“PDF sellers will be asked to update their products within that six
month time and remove the logo.”

Discussion is taking place around the web, at places like EN World, RPG.net, and Gleemax.

Here are some starter threads for you:
