I'm not positive which forum is the best to post this, but I think this may be the one.

If I understand correctly, you can have a product which is PRD compatible for free...but to have it Pathfinder compatible you have to license it from Paizo?

So does that mean you could put on a product PRD compatible?

I'm not certain I understand completely...which is why I'm asking.

For example, if I designed an adventure or module for sale on RPGnow, and I made it PRD compatible (instead of the OGL from the 3e days) could I put on the cover PRD compatible? Do I put the license at the back and I'm good, or is there more to it?

On the otherhand, if I wanted to put Pathfinder compatible on the cover, I'd contact Paizo for the licensing of the brand name, and after paying fees, signing agreements or otherwise, then I could put it Pathfinder compatible?

Beyond the world of Golarian, and miscellaneous side rules not found in the PRD, is there a big difference between PRD compatible and Pathfinder compatible?

Or am I confusing the issue and they are the same license?

Thanks for any replies.
