The 4e support within HL is *not* being done under the GSL. I just want to make sure that's 100% clear. :-)
If users want to add their own content that is separate from the material generated by the downloader, that can be done. However, you need to observe a few simple "rules".
1. All material generated by the downloader is placed in ".dat" files. All new user-created material should be placed in ".user" files. The content is the same, but this ensures there is no possibility that user-created content will be clobbered by the generated content when you download updated material at some point later.
2. If you want to customize the generated material, follow these steps for each item you want to "modify".
a. Using the Editor, copy the thing you want to modify.
b. Assign the thing a new unique id.
c. Enter the original thing's unique id in the "Replaces Id" field.
d. Save your new material in a ".user" file.
The above steps will ensure your material replaces the material generated by the downloader, regardless of what changes are subsequently made by the downloader.
3. Users can share any ".user" files they create with each other. The question of what is and isn't in compliance with all the various rules that Wizards has set forth is something everyone will need to determine for themselves.
