". . . actual books need to be sold or destroyed by the end of this year."

Sold, destroyed, or stickered. Depending on how the logo and associated text is deployed, many books can probably remain on the market if the d20 trademark is stickered over. A pain in the butt, but for moderate-to-high price-point product that still turns, possibly well worth the effort.

Rouse said in one of his ENWorld posts that product already in the stream of commerce by the end of 2008, even if unsold to consumers, counts as sold. So the warehouses need to be emptied, but the store shelves don’t. I hope that distinction allows most publishers to get their products out without having to destroy them.

Well, that's a lot less insane than we'd all been thinking. I'm actually kind of disappointed, though, because I thought the absurd ultimatum we expected would be kind of interesting (if not necessarily the most beneficial thing for all involved).

Anyway, looking forward to all the d20 clearance sales. That's actually going to make sticking with 3e and 3e derivatives pretty attractive...
