Re:  Have to copy the Section 15 exactly.

So if that's the case, then things where there are specific copyrights in
the Section 15 are really horrible to draw from.  Anything where there are
multiple specific designations would be a real bear to use.  I'm thinking
mostly of complication products where I have to copy their entire S15 even
though they've written specifically
Feat A copyright by Someone.
Feat B copyright by Someone else
....
Feat ZZZ copyright by a 78th person

When I take Feat CC I have to repeat all 78 lines of their existing data?
That seems crazy, particularly since its clear that I only took the one
thing.  it also makes third/fourth/fifth gen products really unwieldy.
If, for example, I took a monster from Tome of Horrors and created a
"Slayers Guide to..." then someone else took data from my slayer's guide to
make a new prestige class, then a fourth person used the prestige class in
an adventure... You'd have an awfully long S15, particulary if I had used a
couple of different sources.
You also create additional confusion.  I might not own Tome of Horrors.  So
my xth gen product is really derivative only of what I saw.  If something in
what I used was wrong (so my slayer's guide in the example started out using
PI) how would the error be tracked back to the source?  I've listed that I
derived content from ToH and I never even saw it.
