Really? >From various things that have been said, the files are run past legal and the design teams before they get put up -- that's what causes the delays. As I understand it, the files are not put up until legal and brand have OKed *those files*. Legal and brand are quite clearly authorised to release the material. I can see that they wouldn't *want* to have done that, but it seems that they have. The counter-argument would have to be that, just because it's on the WotC site as OGC, doesn't mean it actually is OGC, in which case the safe harbour is completely non-existent, as any publisher can use the same argument for any original material of theirs. -- David Chart http://www.dchart.demon.co.uk/ PGP Key: 1786 15B1 53A3 7ED0 CBD4 AFBE 9B61 6D10 46C9 1CBE _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
