I was specifically referring to selling material, and to material which is
distributed in paper form.

Actually, that wasn't the one I meant.  I was referring to the copious legal
discussions that have appeared here and on Usenet regarding what constitutes
a derivative work.  The thread you mention has very little to do with that.

disagree on when it is appropriate to use the OGL.
