Doesn't this open up a whole can of worms? Can you have "closed material" as
part of a GPL'd software?
If I write a world, produce a profitable campaign setting based on that world,
with the actual story and world as closed, can I then write a computer game
using my world without releasing that part of my world in the game to the
public?
Also, what if I want to use a different "open-source license?" Why be
specific, when instead a list of "approved licenses" on the OGF website could
be used?
Same reasoning behind the "restricted terms" list... make it easier to change.
Good idea, but I think it could use some more development.
DM
Looking for a game? I DM in Upstate NY, twice a month at Artemis Games in New
Hartford, NY (a suburb of Utica)
Even better, I've got irregular games where I live, in Charlton (near Albany).
Drop me a line and we'll game!
