Re: [Ogf-l] Free20 - What it is, what it isn't, and what I'm goi

Why can't we just work to make the OGL serve everyone's needs.  You all are assuming you need these new things based on some really lame evidence.  Why aren't you all willing to give the OGL a fair try first?  This is what I don't understand.  Ryan told me over a year ago that the OGL was the result of a very long series of drawn out discussions.  IIRC, it was around the same time you all were trying to help me put two and two together and convince me the the OGL was great and easy to interpret!!!!!   ... but it's like everyone is doing a 180 and I don't understand why.   What changed?    Maggie   ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Meerschaert Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ogf-l] Free20 - What it is, what it isn't, and what I'm goi -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Vining <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Huh?  Your first paragraph seems like a contradiction to me.   Why not just make it completely > open?  Why deal with PI at all?  The OGL does that very effectively, IMO. I'm sorry to bring this > up but I just don't get it. : ( It's not a contradiction; it's a redundancy based on the OGL.  I don't want to have a mark that, if Green Ronin slaps on a Freeport module, then lets *anyone* take it and make a twisted, "just plain wrong" version of "Green Ronin's Freeport."  Admitidly, the "no trademarks" rule probably already covers this, but it never hurts to be safe.
