What complicates things, is that they own the original rights to Freeport, so may grant artists rights to illustrate the content outside of the OGL. That artwork is then derivitive of "closed content" not OGC. They then grant everyone else rights to that content by releasing it as OGC, under the OGL. AND they can now include the Artwork, as CLOSED content, since it wasn't derived from Open Content. Now if the art work is of a creature, ie a Mind Flayer, then the art should (*must?*) be open, as the art is derived from OGC, not closed content. -- Mike (right?) _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
