On 19 Aug 00, Martin scribbled a note about RE: [Open_Gaming] Consolidated Rema:

>From where I stand, yes it would really be open in the context that
the actual OGC is open. Only the proprietory names used int he
OGC would not be, thus any other writer would have to come up
with their own names for them. This would have to happen anyways
if you kept the proprietory name out of the OGC material.
What this does is to provide a method to simplify how to reference
material between open and closed content, without accidently
opening the closed material. (which you also pointed out using
different words in the post I am quoting)
