Rather than potation (which means the act of drinking or a sip or draught
esp. of liquor) I suspect you intended to say portation... as in porting
software to a different platform. You might want to make that explicit as
even portation would be vague in this context.

Obviously "Open Game Content" should be definition (d) and the others below
should be moved down the list appropriately.

Is it the specific intent that software created using Open Game Content may
be proprietary or open source at the contributors discretion?

The term Product Identity is use only in the definition of Proprietary
Content, so all the things listed under Product Identity are NOT considered
Propietary Content... is that right? I may be assuming a dichtomy that
doesn't exist, (Proprietary=Not Open, Open=Not Proprietary) is there
supposed to be a third category of content which is not marked as open by
the contributor, but is also not considered Proprietary Content as defined
by the OGL?

This is a temporary restriction pending the final revision of the OGL right?
