If WotC paid someone to write it, it is WotC's stuff. I admit, however, I do not know if all authors were paid for their work.
As I think back, I can see a possible problem with the Freeport guns article, depending on how it was OGC Tracked. Again, I don't have my issue in front of me. As far as WotC complying with the OGL, I have yet to see them include a copy of the license, as required by said license, with everything that they have produced as OGC. If they had to comply with the thing verbatim, then why isn't the license at the end of every section of the SRD available for download at the Open Gaming Foundaiton site? That information, as far as I know, is the only OGC created by Wizards. On the other hand, if the magazine information was taken verbatim from a Freeport adventure, d20 Deadlands, or whatever other non-WotC source of your choosing, I'd completely agree that it was done incorrectly. However, I do not believe that was the case in the d20 Annual. Chad D. Stevens [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > As I believe has been stated before, WotC has no need to comply with the > > OGL.
