This touches on a debate from a few weeks ago. Let's say company ABC releases a magic item called "Holy Handpick" and PI's the name and company XYZ releases a magic item called "holy handpick" but as 100% OGC, no PI. Could I source the name "Holy Handpick" from the OGC source and then source the items description from the PI'ed source? Would that be valid under the OGL in you opinion? Or is the name off limits because I sourced part of the item from a source that PI'ed the name? (I am not trying to do this but it was a hot topic)
Bryan ---- Orginal Message From Ryan Dancey ---- Because, and this is the point you keep missing: IT DOESN'T ENCOMPASS ANYTHING EXCEPT THE WORK LICENSED. The OGL doesn't say anything about "all use of any content identified in this work as Product Identity from any source". "Product Identity" is scoped to the work licensed. If the same content comes from some other source, that other source is >not< Product Identity, even if it is exactly the same content. Anything that comes in from beyond the scope of the licensed work is handled solely by standard copyright and trademark laws. Period. _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
