The only "social" obligation I would presume to press on anyone using the
OGL is to provide some means of teritiary identification for those who want
to use some of their work--if they want to keep their name (Vampire Ooze?)
for themselves.
Names ARE important. My players will wince at the mention of a troll, and
"draconians" and "kender" are known throughout gamedom... even by those who
aren't aware of where they come from.
Of course, I'm *ONLY* talking about the name to go along with the OGL'd
rules block. *ANYTHING* else is fair game, AFAIC.
