Here are the relevant portions of the debate (which concerns the contractual construction of the term "work"), the scope of the OGL, and any default status that exists (i.e., if by default your work is considered OGC if you apply the OGL to it).

The other question these posts (and the subsequent ones after them) concern themselves with is what happens if you fail to make OGC declarations...

One of the questions was effectively whether the any default "whole work" application of the OGL turned your whole work into OGC, or whether you are simply misapplying the license and need to go back and do a proper OGC/PI declaration.

One person seemed to think that your whole work became OGC.  Another person claimed simply that you had misapplied the license and needed to fix your OGC declaration.

If you want my opinion (or want to offer me your opinion) email me offlist.
