It does seem circular but it's not really, at least to me it's not...any
of you law types correct me if I am wrong though! :)
This is how it unfolds in my mind:  the words Use, Used and Using are
license terms and are independent of the same words in the dictionary
and have no meaning outside of the license. The license has to give
those words meaning and they are being given a definition in section 1g.

Lee, I'm relying on the definition. The definition includes "use".  1.g
reads: 
"(g) "Use", "Used" or "Using" means to use, Distribute, copy, edit,
format, 
modify, translate and otherwise create Derivative Material of Open Game 
Content." It's circular!

What possible meaning could use have in 1.g, other than... "use". :)

That's why I wondered if it wasn't a typo.
