I have a rather odd situation here.
I am in the process of writing DM support software, in JAVA. (don't ask
why JAVA vs C/C++/gcc/perl).
The output of the software is an adventure (granted, one that tends
towards hack and slash, but not 100% such).
What I would like to do is this:
1) include a statement in the output of the software that the _output_ of
this software is released as OGL (mayhap ever D20STL, depending)
material.
2) have a command line switch that causes the underlying tables and other
"OGLish" stuff be kicked out in a form that could be used "by hand".
(there by covering the OGL requirement that the stuff be available for
others)
3) the software itself be released as GPL.
Is this a legal option?
I have been reading the various licenses in question and I think it _is_
a legal option, but given the "no other restrictions" clauses of both the
GPL and the OGL I have some nagging questions.
