Re: [Ogf-l] Software as a translation

I mentioned Text....  What I was trying to say, unsuccessfully, is that if WotC can't readily find that you are following the clearly marking, then they have the right to issue a C&D.  Burdon of proof is on the Licencee, and therefore things like doing them in a binary that they can't read can be construed as clearly marked.    Just making a binary and saying 'everything here is OGC' isn't enough.  If you have closed content coded in there, you don't have the ability to do that.  For IP reasons, Wizards is going to want to make sure of that.  So would other publishers if you used their work.  Now they may be willing to shell out money for a program to interpret it, or they may not.  and if a decompiler/interpretor doesn't exist outside of the functioning product, they could have grounds to be upset.   With printed products, its much easier.  Even PDFs, since the end result is near enough to a printed page.  WYSIWYG.   Andrew McDougall a.k.a.
