lawyers unless otherwise stated" on this list, anyway?)

Good point.  Ravenloft seems to be published under a simliar 
arrangement--a seperate agreement leaving the OGL completely out of the 
picture.

On a related note, I do believe (from prior conversations here) that if 
someone steals a writer's work, the only person who has standing to sue 
over the "theft" is the writer himself.
