------ 6.Notice of License Copyright: You must update the COPYRIGHT NOTICE portion of this License to include the exact text of the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any Open Game Content You are copying, modifying or distributing, and You must add the title, the copyright date, and the copyright holder's name to the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any original Open Game Content you Distribute. ------- Alright. Here is an interesting line of thought (at least to me). Section 6 states that "you must update the COPYRIGHT NOTICE portion of this license" -- Please note it says /portion of this license/. So it is clearly indicating Section 15. It then continues on to state "...exact text of the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any Open Game Content You are..." --- Please note here it DOES NOT clearly state the Section 15 of the license. It says you must update it with the "COPYRIGHT NOTICE" of the OGC. So here is my take on it. In Clarks S.15 he places: ------------- OGL Copyright SRD Copyright Tome of Horrors General Copyright ------------- You immeadiately follow the OGL license with the following statements: a) "To comply with Section 6 of the OGL, you must include the individual copyright statements of the OGC you reuse in your Section 15. To find the individual copyright notices for each piece of OGC, please see the "Copright statblock" contained within the piece of OGC in question. b) In cases where there is no seperate Copyright provided, then the general copyright of "Tome of Horros" shall suffice. Part (a) satisfies the section requiring you to include the copyright of the ogc the "re-user" is reusing. It is simply giving instructions on "how to comply" -- it is not adding terms. Part (b) is clearifying that the copyright for your "original" OGC, is the general copyright for the book. Does this solve the problem?
