<<If you use the _rules_ not the text, as I have said quite a few times now,
you _cannot_ be in violation. Whatever the source. This is not
convoluted - it is the most basic application of OGC that you can get, other
than 100% useage (text and all).

Did you copy ANY text, including the names of the feats from other sources? If so, this is an insufficient declaration. If you used ANY feat verbatim, then the text is OGC and should be declared as such by its initial author.
<<See above. Follow those guidelines and you cannot go wrong. At all. Yes,>
it means there is more work involved, as you have to rewrite everything but,
to be frank, that is neither here nor there.

The point being, is that if any of the text was already open then as an end user, provided I follow the requirements of the OGL, then I can use that text verbatim. I need not rewrite it from scratch. Nor can any open text that was not rewritten from scratch be closed by some later author.
Lastly, "rules" does not cover the names of the feats. I could identify the names of some of the SRD feats. If memory served, they matched the originals. That tells me that some of the names of the other feats also probably matched the original documents from other non-SRD sources, and I can't be sure if those names were declared as PI or OGC.
Your answer seems most insufficient.
