The D&D official character creator uses the official character sheet in the \"PDF Form\" variant, so it's clear what is and is not covered by the copyright. The GCA default template has a copyright notice only in a box discussing the GCA and the unfilled sheet.\r\n\r\nUnlike all of the above, GCS does not distinguish between items put on the sheet automatically, options chosen from the GCS library, and custom items put in by the user.\r\n\r\nSeeing this copyright notice, and your response, is like if Eclipse put \"Copyright © 2018 The Eclipse Foundation. All Rights Reserved.\" on GCS, and then refused to change that because Oracle had approved that text."}}
