IANAL, but let's take the following example: I want to use material from Product A and Product B.****************************************************************6.Notice of License Copyright: You must update the COPYRIGHT NOTICE portion of this License to include the exact text of the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any Open Game Content You are copying, modifying or distributing, and You must add the title, the copyright date, and the copyright holder's name to the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any original Open Game Content you Distribute. **************************************************************** So by a technical reading, you're wrong: "exact text" doesn't seem to leave room for question.
Product A's COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
Product 1
Product 2
Product A
Product B's COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
Product 1
Product 3
Product B
My product, Product C, could have the following COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
Product 1
Product 2
Product A
Product 3
Product B
Note that the "exact text" of both COPYRIGHT NOTICES is included (even though its been broken up). Further, it is clear that no meaning has been lost. Plus, it *is* the common and recognized consensus of the majority of license-holders that this is the correct formulation. And, finally, I think the "reasonable person" standard would hold that this is a legitimate reading of the license's meaning.
