Yes. If he wants to ensure that he retains credit, then he should not declare the name as PI. That way, anyone who wants to trace the OGL back to its source need only check section 15 of the license... that's how the OGL is designed. If he doesn't like the way the OGL is designed, he shouldn't use it. > In most cases 99% of what you want to reuse is reusable. Is it a pain to > have to go through and take out the PI? Yes, but if you want to use the > stuff so badly why not just take what was offered and create the rest? That's exactly what I'm saying he should do. Change "Shadow Weapon" which is a PI term, and replace it with "Weapon of Shadow" which is not. ===== **************************************************************** "Let me be clear: Analysts differed on several important aspects of these programs and those debates were spelled out in the [national intelligence] estimate [of october 2002].
