Hi D20 >> If Mike is right, however, then the license is total junk -- it'll do >> nothing but foment legal battles over who has a PI declaration in a short >> write-up they gave to their gamer buddies.
>> >> I so much want Mike to be wrong; but I have no legal training to support >> me on this. Firstly I might have over stretched some points in the past. I do not think that PI in non published (or limited distribution) titles is an issue, but once a product has been fully publihsed then the PI within it needs to be protected. If it is not protected then the whole process of creating OGL material will become much much more expensive because the only way that you will be able to protect your IP will be to apply for a trademark (or similar) i.e. you will have to rely on existing laws rather then being able to use the simple PI rules as defined in the OGL. This will be a great shame.
