Johnathan, it's "programmer lingo"... The characters >>> != <<< means, not equal to. Woodelf was saying that because something is "Not Open" then it is not (!=) "Product Identity" -- I think most of us can agree on that. If something is not open, it might be PI, but it is not nessasarily PI. Richard Stewart, either didn't under stand Woodelfs notation (!=), thought Woodelf meant equals (=) and had mistyped it as (!=), or he read it wrong. He then when on to explain that something that is "Not Open" ie, normal copyright, does not inherently make it Product Identity. Which was what Woodelf was saying in the first place. Does that help? 8-) -- Mike _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
