ICE needs an SRD for thier systems.
Cory Magel:
I'm of two, or maybe even three at some point, minds.
Owner of RM license hat from a profitability standpoint: I don't want a bunch of people creating material for my system with little to no control on quality when I could be making a percentage of that by them doing it through me and making sure the masses don't churn out a potentially large percentage of crap.
Owner of RM license from hat a 'legacy' standpoint: I'd love it if people started making a bunch of content for my game and, thereby, spread it's popularity with little to no effort on my end.
Personally, if I had the time to really dedicate to it, I'd rather just create the material and let ICE do the rest the work and pay me royalties. If I thought I could make a living at it I'd do it full time, but I don't believe I could with any system outside of D&D. Yes, I could go work for or maybe even start my own RPG company, but I wouldn't be making more than I do now.

Posting to raise my post count by one (no, I'm not superstitious at all... never) ;)

Would it not be better to use the thread to about if it can be solved to have the rules in markdown so users can use them in mentioned app?
jdale:
I think a better case can be made for it in modules and setting materials than for rules.
Regarding obsidian.md, I have never heard of that and searching for their website doesn't really tell me anything about how it relates to an SRD or game material in general.

Obsidian.md is simply a note taking/writing app that's note solely just for RPGs. But growing TTRPG community has adopted Obsidian.md for RPGs. It's being used for everything from Campaign Management to running live sessions. It has plenty of plugins for RPG content like a fantasy calendar, statblocks that work with an initiative encounter, a graphical Dice roller (I've got mine set up for open-ended rolls on percentile dice), and so much more.
The only issue with it is that it takes a lot to put all your own stuff into the program. The RPGs that get the most attention are the ones that have an SRD and the people behind the TTRPG OBsidian community have already loaded quite a few SRD's into Obsidian.
Unfortunately neither HARP or RMU have an SRD so you would have to enter in all that info manually. Lucky for me I already had a lot of HARP programmed into Realm Works and someone created an importer plugin that will convert Realm Works files into markdown files so it was a much easier transfer than it could have been. It is an incredible program.
Here is a great beginner video by Joshua Plunket, a patreon I support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV3Dp1Kki1E&ab_channel=JoshPlunkett
