Section 8: "8. Identification: If you distribute Open Game Content You must clearly indicate which portions of the work that you are distributing are Open Game Content." This clearly implies that portions can be OGC and portions can be not-OGC, commonly known as "Closed content". The PI designation is merely a convenience that allows authors to use things within an open chapter without making them open. >From section 1: "(e) "Product Identity" means product and product line names, logos and identifying marks including trade dress; artifacts; creatures characters; stories, storylines, plots, thematic elements, dialogue, incidents, language, artwork, symbols, designs, depictions, likenesses, formats, poses, concepts, themes and graphic, photographic and other visual or audio representations; names and descriptions of characters, spells, enchantments, personalities, teams, personas, likenesses and special abilities; places, locations, environments, creatures, equipment, magical or supernatural abilities or effects, logos, symbols, or graphic designs; and any other trademark or registered trademark clearly identified as Product identity by the owner of the Product Identity, and which specifically excludes the Open Game Content." > The license explicitly says that OGC means the covered work is OGC except > the parts that are PI. No it doesn't. It doesn't say that anywhere. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
