ummm...I'm not really planning on making any money on my project, but I
certainly don't begrudge anyone who wishes to make money on theirs. However,
I do now have a few concerns about the OGL in this draft. When I first heard
about the OGL an idea for a cooperative world sort of stuck with me and has
been developing among my group since sometime last spring. Anyway onto the
concern:
Sections 1 and 7, it seems, prohibit me from marking anything other than
statblocks and mechanics etc. as OGC. (IANAL)
However, I was hoping to start an "Open World" project over the net and
among Toledo area gamers. We have a foundation for the world already up and
running in DnD, but all of the content but the important content to allow
others to join in the fun is all PI as far as I can tell. (A back story,
some terms that don't have game meaning, descriptions of cosmology.)
Do I now have to come up with (or borrow) some other license to release this
material as Open? If so, how can/do (for instance) the Open Publication
licenses interact with the OGL?
I have no problem allowing people to retain control of PI material, but I
don't think the license should force me to do so. Am I reading this wrong?
