<< I _NEVER_ said that OGC is everything in a covered product.� I said it was everything in a�covered product that is not PI. >> Has an IP lawyer versed in the OGL told you this? If not, please consult one before you keep repeating this. PLEASE! Publishers with money on the line have paid good money to their IP lawyers and seem to have all reached the conclusion that there are three kinds of content: OGC, PI, and traditional copyright material. Your dogged insistence to the contrary may be seriously misleading people. If you have consulted an IP attorney versed in the OGL who said this, then I would be interested to know how come your attorney reached such a different conclusion. >From very early on, it has been clear: in order for something to be OGC, it must be clearly indicated as OGC. Later the OGL was modified: if something is PI, then it's not OGC, even if it seems to be indicated as OGC. And something which is not indicated as OGC nor as PI is neither, even if it appears within the same product as OGC and PI. Martin L.
