Please point me to the definition of clearly or indicated that implies human readability is required. An arrow can indicate. A finger can indicate. You don't read an arrow or a finger.

The following paragraph is in FRENCH:

Ou est le livre?

Now, I say The previous paragraph of this email is OGC. If you do not understand French, you cannot read it. But it is still __CLEARLY INDICATED__. There is nothing in the OGL that says clearly indicated OGC has to be comprehensible, human readable or even visible. If I create a sound file with a bird chirping, can't I OGC the sound file?

The faq says that the reader has to be able to extract the OGL but this is also not in the license.

(And to show that I'm not being obtuse...) No, the real problem with making the whole file OGC is that you probably don't have the right to contribute the runtime library of your development environment as OGC. However, if you didn't use the built-in runtime library (good luck there) then you probably could contribute the whole executable as OGC.

P.S. If there are errors in my French, remember that it doesn't even have to make sense in French to be OGC :-)
