I want to be the first to thank both you and Shaderaven for the update and for all your hard work in converting the Core books.
It's a shame Paizo didn't get back to you about a discounted upgrade path, but I'm shmoo enough for it not to matter.

Excellent work guys. We all really appreciate your hard work
Thanks for all of your hard work!
And I really appreciate the choices available. I have barely begun some of the legacy AP's, so it's good to know I can be consistent with them.
Thank you so much!!
What I don't quite understand is, will I have to buy the 'Player Core ORC License release' and 'GM Core ORC License release' separately, since I already have the Pathfinder 2 RPG? And will I be able to add the 'License release' to my games using my Pathfinder 2 RPG manuals?
As previously mentioned: "The ORC License releases will contain the Open RPG Creative License content - only the appropriate data records and encoded automation. These will be included with the FG license." These are included with your FG license, the ORC release isn't something you purchase.
You can use the ORC content how you wish, and can be used with your existing PFRPG2 content.
It had never occurred to me I wouldn't have to buy them in FG. It's a digital product that you-who-are-not-Paizo are working on. We'd already be getting a discount in the amount of the PDF, like always. I see now it's a free upgrade, but I'm'a still buy them anyway. Have Trenloe and Shaderaven considered starting a joint Patreon or something? I picture them at their desks, manacled to the chair.
Thanks for the feedback and support. Ultimately, if you want to support the non-salaried devs, purchase the full official products - these contain the full product conversion, reference manuals, images and portraits/tokens on top of the base product data; whereas the ORC license release is the base data.
Ultimately, we convert the products for two reasons: 1) we are passionate about Pathfinder 2 on Fantasy Grounds, 2) we get some recompense for the hundreds of hours we spend doing the conversions, providing new ruleset functionality and supporting the products - it's not a massive amount of money, but it helps supplement our income a little and make the long hours more palatable. Without the support of FG users who purchase the official content, there may well be less of our personal time spent converting products...
Doing the ORC releases for the rulebooks is a bit of a double-edged sword. If may result in a massive downturn in official product purchases, but it will allow more people to play Pathfinder 2 on Fantasy Grounds with less initial outlay. This is something I've been wanting to do for a while (OGL/ORC data releases) and the move to the ORC license, with the beginning of a new line of books, has prompted us to provide this service to the Pathfinder 2 community on Fantasy Grounds.
Will the original PF2RPG Ruleset still remain available alongside the new ORC PF2RPG/Remaster Ruleset ?
I would like to finish my current campaign under the OG content.
