Hmmm just looking around the page at the bottom it says D20 system license version 3.0 but thats now out of date its 6.0 I wonder if the latest batch of PDF's Hunter put up for sale have been updated to reflect this.
Back onto the topic of 2300, were I to get a license, I don't think that I would look at doing anything that would immediately invalidate 2320AD. I may just look at a straight D20 Modern conversion, and various support products, set around 2300, but still usuable with 2320AD. As it turns out, I can still use ships designed with the T20 system, as the design system is closed, but the product of the design system is Open Content. Couple that to that fact that I never sold Hunter the design system, and at least that is covered.

I haven't really kept up with the d20 OGL, but isn't there a d20 Future SRD? If so, how easy would that be to port into Traveller? Now that I think of it, I seem to remember Commander Drax denouncing it in his Children of Earth setting.

The D20 Future SRD is interlinked into its parent system D20 Modern SRD so you can use it under the main SRD rules and blurb.
So this SRD would be a more fitting choice to use for the 2300'ish game.
Someone with more knowledge of the techno blurb would understand it better than my humble self.

Well the T20 ships system and ships made from it are not of much use for 2300 BUT your ship system (which make closed content) is very important, if you make all ships made from it open content like T20 this is of benefit to the OGL community.
The 2320AD ship design system is based on, and makes use of, the T20 system. Same with the vehicle design system.
D20 Future is only a partial match for 2300AD. D20F is aimed very much at a 'soft' science style of play. Some things do fit, many others do not. D20 Modern, if you use T20's Lifeblood damage resolution (Open Content), works quite well, though.
It would be quite possible for me to use a license to produce only support products, multi-statted, and wait for Hunter for awhile, but really, this is all just empty speculation. Until I hear back from Marc (or if, even), there is nothing I can do, aside from dust off some other ideas (non-2300, non-Traveller, even) and work on those.

Am I reading too much into this to take this to mean that contact with Marc has now been established and you'll let us know the final outcome at the end?

Is it me or are the people who are most antsy and excited about this all either Brits, ex-pat Brits, or members of the Commonwealth? 
Seems to be a fair bit of that, yes, though there are exceptions. I'm one of those Commonwealth types, myself, though. I think one of the reasons for 2300AD's popularity outside of the States was it's non-US-centric approach. That did change with later products, to an extent, but it was refreshing. Btw, that was not meant to be an anti-American statement, just to be clear.
Yes, I've been in contact with Marc. I still want to discuss a few things with him before I'm in a position to make any announcements. But I'm cautiously optimistic.

I think SJG's Transhuman Space is more popular outside the US too for similar reasons, the US is still a big power but it's fading, whereas the EU is all progressive and in its prime. That and Transhumanism is possibly more popular outside the US as well.
