OK, I'm being convinced I was wrong. :) So if I scoop up a dozen OGLed
modules, re-edit them to create a uniform graphic 'look and feel', and
publish them as "Lizards Guide To Adventure Volume I", the most I can
put on the cover is "By a dozen of the best game designers writing
today" as opposed to "By Chris Pamas, Johnathan Tweet, and others"
Yes, I can see where you'd prefer that. :)
However, look for the Usual Suspects to claim "And now WOTC can publish
your module and not even mention your name except in itty-bitty print in
the credits!"
