As various people have said many times, Ryan, if you create your own language which is just a generic computer language with forms and database routines, and write a full game tool using it and include the OGL in that source file. If all your compiled interpreter program does is load and interpret that file, the __program__ is not derivative of the SRD and thus is not in violation of the license. IOW, If I can write and release a Java program providing full source code to the user and be in the clear then my example above is equally in the clear. The difference is, with Java, I don't have to write the interpreter program (Sun has done it for me.) Anyway, I feel better now that the horse is more dead.
