You're supposed to be. The current wording allows for publication under any version of the OGL (of which there is only 1 at the moment) but that only works if the versions aren't in direct conflict with each other. As Richard Stewart already pointed out, this proposal would create a direct conflict (by placing additional restrictions on the OGC) with the current version of the license. If OGL v.2 included Steve's proposal you'd have a conundrum since the two license would be incompatible (anything published under v.1 cannot be used under v.2; anything published under v.2 can only be published under v.1 in small bits) but have language (Section 9 on updating) saying you can use either. Which is why I doubt this proposal is going anywhere. alec _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
