Hey everyone- I was just on the phone with Erik Mona (yes, he was in the office at 12:00 midnight) who does Polyhedron which is now the d20 mag. We talked about the whole OGC thing.
The problem isnt using WotC content. The problem is when a magazine uses 3rd party OGC. They are working on how to handle that. I suggested putting the copyright info in the OGC tracker boxes. I also brought up the fact that if they "use" 3rd party OGC, then the work falls under the OGL which might accidentally open up content they didnt want open. For example, if the d20 annual was an open work, then those Robert Jordan articles have lots of content that would have to be considered open content. Its a tricky situation, similar to the one Campaign Magazine had recently. Erik is going to meet with Ryan on the matter. I was one of the initial chorus of voices saying "the magazine is not in compliance" and I still feel that way. But I can assure you guys that after talking to Erik that the d20 annual was not intended to be a "series of ads" or "misleading." I'm hopeful that Erik and everyone at Polyhedron/d20 will be dumping a good amount of cool OGC on us. That seems to be their intent. I think this will get fine tuned and actually be a source of OGC.
