AV, good as always! But there is a subtlety here that I wonder if it is clear. You stated it perfectly: "you can still use the *non-OGC* derived I/P in any manner you want." Anything people create that is NOT derived from the SRD or other OGC is YOURS to do with as you like. If you release it as OGC, that is your choice. You do not lose it. Dont confuse IP (meaning "intellectual property") with PI (meaning "product identity"). Lets use the phrase "content" instead of IP. IP and PI mucks things up. Your phrase restated is: "you can still use the *non-OGC* derived content you create in any manner you want." If the content you create comes from OGC (the SRD or otehr content) then you MUST use it pursuant to the license and you MAY NOT do anything else with it. But dont confuse designating your content as OGC with using someone elses OGC. You dont give up your rights to your created non-OGC derived content just by designating it OGC. I hope that made sense.
