From: "Tom Phillips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> What aspects of it are unacceptable to the Open Gaming Foundation
1. It is far too complex.
2. It does not address the issue of the use of contributor's names
3 It does not allow for the creation of a "larger work" where one set of
copyrights is maintained under separate ownership, and a second set of
copyrights are maintained using the License.
Because it is based on the GPL, which is 100% viral (you cannot release a
program which is partly proprietary and partly GPL'd), it cannot be used
effectively in our industry. The value of the "game" is often the least
valuable portion of a gaming product - the value of the "IP" is often the
most valuable portion. Without providing for this separation, the concept
of Open Gaming would never work.
