If that is what he is talking about, I have already done it a bunch of times. Any time you use content under license, you are most likely going to be doing something like that. For example, our Judges Guild products and our Grimtooth's Traps book. In those books I declare PI content that I am using under license. I dont see any logical or legal prohibition to doing this.
