From: "Ryan S. Dancey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >ERROR: Why does Section 5 require you to have the "authority to >contribute"? >5. Representation of Authority to Contribute: If You are contributing >original material as Open Game Content, You represent that Your >Contributions are Your original creation and/or You have sufficient >rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License. The wording of Section 5 seems to indicate that the work being your "original creation" is enough to grant you the "authority to contribute". I am specifically referring to the "or" portion of "and/or". My understanding is that the creator of the work could have signed their rights to the work over to somebody else. The wording of section 5 seems to grant them the authority to contribute despite having no legal right to do so in this hypothetical situation. Why not just say that "you represent that you have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this license" and drop the whole original creation bit? Again, this is from a layman's point of view; I apologize if I am missing some obvious legal meaning.
