Don't know that they even considered the issue, so your attempt to try and read something into the terms of the license because of an extremely slight change in language is tricky. Not saying you're wrong, just saying thats it's not clear you're right either. > >> Ok, I'm trying to work all three of these approaches out in my > >> head (netbook, Clark & Mike) and I'm still not sure what works > >> best.

Except they could argue that the general copyright notice for the entire product (which you included in the general s.15) is the copyright notice for the entire product and therefore just including that meets the requirements of the OGL. > >> I think that facilitates re-use more than either the netbook > >> or Mike's approach, but I could be wrong. > > How is Clark's different then mine in this respect.

It's not really Clark's language for s.15 that does this so much as his example. In both the netbook approach and what you've suggested, there's really no way to get around listing each & every creatures/item/spell used individually even if a product uses multiples from the same original product. Clark provided a means of lumping all the multiples together for use in any other product's s.15. I *think* that might facilitate greater reuse. alec _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
