Hey all,
Just looking over the different licenses as research, and thought of an interesting question. If I were to publish a 3.5 compatible adventure under the OGL and sell it normally, but then publish a seperate conversion guide to help buyers convert the adventure to PFRPG as a free download, does that count as a commercial use requiring the requisition of a Compatability License or can it, as a free product, fall under the Community Use Policy? Thanks for the help, and either way I'll be looking into supporting the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game into the future.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think this counts as being "not completely free". It's basically a conversion for a commercial product, which means you can't use the Community use policy.
It makes sense, too: Someone could write a generic adventure and then have a "free" conversion guide transplanting the adventure onto Golarion.

If you sell *any* gaming products you publish, that makes you a professional publisher, which means you can't use the Community Use Policy.
