Your
buddy's work would be handled separately, in your copyright/legal section - the
one in the front of the product that goes "this work is copyright 2003 by XXXX.
all rites reversed, prosecutors will be violated". You would have to add
"The description of New Jersey as 'the grey wastes of Hades' is based on "Please
God, Kill Me Now" by my friend Mike, copyright 2003 by Go Ahead And Shoot
Him Press, and is used by permission.
Section 15 just uses your normal notice for your product.
Your OGL/PI declarations, however, would be something like "All descriptions and
references to New Jersey as being an Earthbound layer of the Abyss, filled
with tortured souls screaming for the sweet mercy of death, the
mutation effects of New Jersey's water, and the descriptions of various
poxes which plague the residents are used under license and are never OGL,
no matter where they appear, unless included in a 10% grey shaded paragraph
which appears as commentary by our narrator, Tanya the Hooters
Succubus."
Just
be very, very sure that Mike's work is prior art. If it isn't, go
with something like "The Ashen Wastes of Hades". If you don't like
that, watch a couple of episodes of 'Trading Spaces' that have rooms by Hilde
SantoThomas in them, and the horrific adjectives will be flowing like water in
no time.

<<How do you include your friend's paragraph in your section 15?

I don't need to.
Why would I? I wouldn't need to Section 15 any source which I draw info from which wasn't, itself, covered under the OGL.
