Howdy y'all,
I have a question about the OGL. : )
Here is the scenario I am facing:
1. A nonprofit company obtains the services of a volunteer writer to design
an NPC.
2. Writer agrees that the NPC will be property of the company and the writer
also agrees not to try to make a profit off of said NPC once/if it is
published.
3. The company publishes the writer's NPC as open content as defined by the
OGL
4. Writer tries to sell the opened NPC.
5. Company takes legal action on said writer.
What has more weight in court? The contract or the OGL? Did the company
violate the OGL by placing such an anti-profit clause in its writer's
contracts prior to releasing the content under the OGL?
Our attorney says "no" but I want to double check with this list.
Confronting the "profit" issue with the OGL is our last legal hoop, so I want
to make real sure before I proceed.
Maggie
