DM: I was being hypothetical. If I ever publish my own content, more than likely it will be all OGC, with maybe a proper name PI'd. I deal with PI issues at CMP and in PCGen, so my continued improvement on the understanding of the OGL is always beneficial. All I was trying to understand was the whole 'consideration' thing brought up a while. If you can PI everything, you aren't really giving anything up under the OGL. Maybe a 30 day cure period? I'm stretching for understanding. I really don't want to pay more to my lawyer. :p I remember him mentioning that reuse of my exact phrasings was part of my 'payment' to use the license. He used the word consideration once, but I, not knowing it was a legal term, did a 'Huh?' and he switched to payment and trade. Have to trade something for a contract to be binding.
The newly fleshed out 'Consideration' seemed to put my mind in a tizzy. I guess it is one of those grey areas of the hypothetical. I'd consider those who do that sort of thing to be leaches, but I don't see it being that big a deal from my standpoint, except that PCGen prob. won't be doing much with that kind of content, since myself and our OGL chief have to sign off that we are in the legal clear. If OGC and PI isn't clearly marked for us to feel comfortable, we tend to just leave those alone.. With CMP, Mynex handles the details of PI permission and so forth. All I have to do is make sure I get the PI marked correctly and make sure he knows my concerns. Kinda nice to not have the ultimate responsibility. :) Thanks for the lessons, folks.
