I'm aware of this statement by the Copyright Office... Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare, or to authorize someone else to create a new version of that work. Accordingly, you cannot claim copyright to another's work, no matter how much you change it, unless you have the owner's consent. What else do they say about your right to create a new illustration based on existing (copyrighted) text or illustrations? (I'll point out that the OGL is a method to grant consent to create derivative works.) > This, Ryan, is another perfect illustration (pardon the > pun) of why a > publisher might want to avoid the OGL rather than embrace it. This is not an OGL issue. This is a copyright issue.
