Yes, I understood that. But that wasn't the point I was addressing. Let
me put it another way: Whether or not the OGL license includes the
stipulation that you must obtain permission from the legal holders to
use any trademarks in your OGL product (be that in the open or closed
portion), the fact remains that if you use someone else's trademark
without permission you are at risk. It's not as if we'd all be able to
use trademarks willy-nilly if this clause didn't exist.
