As I had explained to me by someone who worked at a law firm that specialized in trademarks and copyrights, when the OGL came out, it also covered all data from PREVIOUS editions that was the same - monsters, for example. If the rules changes were not too radical, then PC Gen should have no legal issues with adding 2nd (or even 1st) edition stuff.
This would, of course, require finding people who had the time and inclination to do the coding.

hiimyrryrIt's not a matter of them not hanging around, PCGen was developed toautomate 3rd edition character generation. There has never been an
official second edition data set.Given the licensing issues we had with third edition books that weren'treleased under the Open Gaming License, we are unlikely to ever getpermission from Wizards of the Coast to ever produce this. Once theyrelease a new version they go out of their way to make usingprevious editions difficult.On Mon, 30 Jan 2017, at 04:17 PM, imyrryr@yahoo.com [pcgen] wrote:Please don't laugh; at least too hard at my request.Yeah, this is also going carbon date me a bit, but I'm looking to see if there is a D&D 2nd Edition Source that is still around for PC Gen?
