4E Game System License

An announcement today that the 4th Edition D&D Game System License will be released on June 6 and will be free of charge. Publishers can release materials starting in October.

This is quite a delay from the original GSL announcement (which offered the license in January and materials shipping in August). OTOH, "free of charge" is a huge plus.

There's additional good news in there about being about to identify a 4E product as D&D compatible with a "version of the D&D logo".

Note what is not released: the terms of the license and the contents of the SRD. More detail.
