This has been kicking around in my head for a little while, so I guess I might
as well get it out.
After someone pointed out that the standing of writers of an "open" copyright
would have to sue is in question, I wondered if there was a way to work around
that...
What if, either as a condition of the OGL or as a sepearte agreement, whole or
partial copyright to an open work was given to the OGF in exchange for a
membership in the OGF with a contractual right to press a suit on the OGF's
behalf in regards to the work.
In other words, the OGF "holds" a copyright, and by that copyright grants the
right to the original authors to sue on the OGF's behalf for violations of the
OGF.
