Re: [Ogf-l] PI in summary...

So, in this example, you COULD send him a C&D for using their name, which you claim as PI, with your OGC Hero System, but you wouldn't have a leg to stand on because your PI claim to those particular names is invalid. They're items of public domain that I adapted and derived from to create my own version of the greek gods.  I could claim that I have a substantial, copyrightable improvement on the characters, sufficient to be an intrest in the OGL. Or, to put it another way, I wouldn't ignore someone's PI declaration just because it's a PD name. DM
