This message is, on its own, indicative of the types of gross generalities from Mongoose that people have been complaining about on this board. "If you use the _rules_ not the text"? What is that supposed to mean? 'Text' is printered letters, numbers, punctuation and other characters on the page, and all of the non-graphics content (rules, PI, descriptive text, the license, etc) is literally 'text'.
<rant>You obviously have a clear idea of what you want to release as OGL and what you do not. However, my psychocom provided terminated my direct connection to your brainwaves because of my 'poor attitude'. Now I can only guess what Mongoose has and has not released through their products. Perhaps you (as a company) could, with a minimal amount of additional 'text', indicate what *IS* OGC, and everybody would be happy. Except perhaps your layout designer who will have to add a couple lines of text to the footer in Quark or whatever you use for page layout and prepress.</rant> Sorry, Matt, but I feel a little better... -Mike --- Matthew Sprange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > responsibility of coming up with an OGC declaration that is clear enough > that > > I can label OGC in my products appropriately if I draw from their > resources. > > We keep going over and over on this. > > If you use the _rules_ not the text, as I have said quite a few times now, > you _cannot_ be in violation.
