Well, you don't give up any rights to your own work (okay, with one exception) when you release it under the OGL. You can still license it out to others, with the sole exception that you cannot grant anyone else an "exclusive" license since the OGL'd material is irrevocably licensed. If R&R is asking for exclusive rights, as I believe "work for hire" means you assign all rights to them, then you cannot submit any OGL'd work. -Damian _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
