I therefore propose that we create:
a) a d100 charter, a document that spells out the minimal characteristics that a role-playing game, labelling it self as “a d100-system” or “Compatible with the d100-system” must have.
b) a d100-system logo.
c) a d100-system logo license (we assume that the logo is copyright protected).
The purpose would be to establish a market standard and assign a symbol to that standard and allow, anyone, who is willing to follow the standard the right to use the logo free of charge.
Comments are most welcome...

I like both the idea and the logo suggestion you have. Defining what qualifies for a rpg to be labeled a d100 system would be hard though.
(by the way, would we need a license? Would it need to be protected? I don't think anyone not aiming their product at the d100-market would want to use it)

I should point out that Chaosium is actively seeking licensees for BRP at this time and (in my opinion) an official "BRP-compatible" sort of logo might be preferable to one solely focusing on d100 (as many games use d%, and not all in the same way).

Do you know if they have any plans of making the license terms public?
