Ok, one more question. The issue of binary distribution arose and I'd like to get thoughts on that. Let's say I write a thin interface and the database SQL commands in VB, and maybe use a couple of C++ COM objects to handle some dirty work like calculating stats etc. that I developed myself. I include with the binary distribution all of the source code in a folder in the installation directory with clear instructions on how to access that information, should another developer wish to examine the code. In the source code I append a copy of the OGL to each source file that contains open code and clearly identify the code that is released as being open content and clearly identify the stuff that is copyright someone else or just not released (i.e. kept as PI). In reading the license it really doesn't say anything about how it's distributed as long as the open stuff is marked clearly and the license is distributed with it. Now I figure that by the time I've added copies of the license to the source, the ELUA, the about menu item, the output from the program, the individual databases, wow that's a lot of text, but I would think that would reasonably cover the requirements set forth in the license. Now am I missing something here, or have I in your opinion met the letter and spirit of the agreement?
Thanks for putting up with me :) Dallas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ryan S.

And, since it's a web site, you are not distributing anything except the output. The output stat block, however, should be marked as OGC, and should come with a copy of the OGL, and the copy of the OGL should have it's section 15 updated to reflect your copyright in the stat block.
