But in this case Section 5 would be unnecessary. If your conversion would be legal under standard copyright law (big debate there), then it would also be legal for you to contribute it as Open Content; no need for Section 5. If it's not legal to do the conversion, you wouldn't need any special section of the OGL to cover a plain copyright infringement.
