If that's what they are trying to say on page 3, the did a very bad job of it. But this discussion was already had on the list, so I'm not going to repeat the entire thing. All page 3 says is that AEG has the permission of WotC to use various material from the SWRPG. Once AEG put such material inside of content that they have clearly designated as OGC, that material is designated as OGC, unless it is claimed as PI, or AEG is violating the OGL. Since the VP/WP system is quite clearly part of what has been designated as OGC by AEG there are really only two options, turning on whether or not AEG actually had WotC's permission to make this stuff OGC: 1) The VP/WP system is OGC because WotC gave permission to AEG and AEG clearly designated it as OGC. 2) The VP/WP system is not OGC because WotC did not give permission to AEG - making the whole Spycraft book in violation of the OGL. But all of this was discussed months ago, and not having looked at any of the later works in Spycraft line, I assume it was either fixed or the elements that AEG is using from SWRPG (including the VP/WP system) can be considered as valid OGC since WotC hasn't challenged the opening of these elements. alec (the guy with a law degree who isn't an attorney) _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
