+# '''Homebrew RPG Material:''' PCGen will not distribute nor promote data sets based upon homebrew RPG material.
-Rationale: PCGen requires direct, positive permission to include material in distributed data sets. Even in the case where material is covered under the OGL, PCGen seeks permission from the publisher for specific permission to include their material. This is done to protect the publishers rights with respect to their material. In the case of homebrew material, it is impossible for the PCGen Team to determine absolutely that no 'derivative work' has been included. That being said, if we included such material we are potentially violating the rights of the publisher whose material it is derived from.
