Yes. There is nothing Wizards could do to stop others from developing similar trademark usage licenses for various OGL products. The only requirement is to remember that a trademark license cannot impose any additional requirements on the OGL -- the additional requirements are only imposed on those who wish to use the trademark. So if someone like GRG creates a trademark license underneath the OGL and then someone else comes along and likes the open content published by GRG under this trademark but doesn't like the requirements of the trademark, they are free to use the OGC without the trademark, using just the OGL. (Exactly the same situation as with the D20STL from Wizards.) alec (the guy with a law degree who isn't an attorney) _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
