It's not necessarily the statement that's the hurtle, but the trickle-down effect caused by a lack of information. Let's say, for instance, I'm drawing two spells from a source that includes a few R&R spells and all the re-user has put is "All [spell names] from Relics & Rituals are used by license", how do *I* know if the two spells I'm using require me to use the Goodies License or not? While I agree that re-using R&R material is easy, if the re-user doesn't specify which spells those are, it becomes difficult for a second generation re-user, who may or may not have R&R and thus may or may not know which spells that line refers to. ~Jimmy Domsalla qtgg.icehex.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clark Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 1:56 AM Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] PI Spell Names > > In a way, what you've done is shifted the burden of > > typing all the PI > > terms into a clump off of your shoulders and onto > > the shoulders of the > > reuser. > > > Now, if someone wants to use some spells from your > > book and he wants > > to mix them in with the spells from some other book, > > if he wants to > > use the PI names *he* has to be the one to make a > > list of all their > > names or come up with some other way of clearly > > designating those > > spell names as licensed PI, so that some third > > publisher down the line > > will know which spells are subject to your > > sublicense and which > > aren't. > > Incorrect.
