What?  Are only lawyers allowed to make things over-complicated?  Actually
I agree, but I think he's coming at this from the point of view that if
the individual entry idea of the netbook doesn't work with the license,
your new concept doesn't either.  So he's proposing ways to actually fix
the license rather than trying to figure out some way to subtly tweak the
license to make it work.

So far I think your proposal is about as simple as this can get under the
current OGL.  But I'm also reconsidering the former netbook proposal,
since if your method is ok, I'm not sure why their idea that while the
netbook would individually list every item in s.15 but re-users would only
have to include the specific item(s) used would be a violation.  I do like
your idea better though.  And I think it does require the very explicit
explanation/example you use (just in case anyone else decides to follow
Necromancer's lead - I'm sure you'd always include this Clark.)

Ok, so now we know Clark isn't involved in the conspiracy.  Sheesh, not
even making an attempt to constrain the agenda.  Now I'm not even certain
Clark's a lawyer.  :)
