Do note, you can not publish FG products on DriveThru unless you have a explicit agreement with SmiteWorks. At least that is my understanding.

That is correct. The DMsGuild is the only avenue where you do not need to have a prior license/agreement with SmiteWorks.
Can someone give an example of the Wizards of the Coast's Fan Content Policy disclaimer to add to a module I am making in Fantasy Grounds? I wrote this but not sure if its good enough. Spent hours googling with no examples anywhere.

The Fan Content Policy itself suggests this;
I would not mix things in by also referencing the OGL. They are two separate agreements and if you are following the requirements of the FCP, then I don't think you don't need to also comply with the OGL. Not sure if there is a use case that would require both.Quote:

Perfect. Thank you. I will use that statement when creating modules. :)
OGL and FCP are mutually exclusive AFAIK
A note regarding developments since this was written or otherwise edited, community extensions (not modules!) are no longer allowed for distribution on the DMsGuild. SmiteWorks is working on a community "Forge" to replace monetarization as well as formalize and enhance community extension distribution. Until that is published, I am not aware of anywhere that FG extensions can be sold without an explicit agreement with SmiteWorks. As always, they can still be distributed for free via this forum.
