No, open content is not a major part of our strategy.  We have a product
called "Operative Online(tm)" which supports two of our own products,  
Universe
and Kid Universe. (http://www.operativeonline.com)

Recently, we decided to expand Operative Online to include licensed  
games.
As an experiment, I added the defunct TSR game, "Star Frontiers," (it  
isn't fully
functional).  We're considering other products to add to Operative  
Online,
including some of the Open Content games out there.

So, we're not looking to develop open content but rather to provide  
tools for
people to use private and open content.  The problem with d20, as you  
likely
know, is that restrictions against software are pretty stiff.  So, I  
need some
other mechanism to work with open products outside of the d20 license.

So thanks for your advise, and in light of what I've told you, I'd  
welcome
any other advice you may have.

Mark
