So, if I write a novel using GNU Emacs my novel should be open?

Software provides tools to do work. Though the tools are open, the products
that result from their use are are not. The same applies RPGs. The rules are
the tools and the OGL is about making those open; the products that result
from their use (adventures and settings) are not open.
