Maybe. Maybe not. The problem with wholly open ideas is that unless
there's some concrete measurement ("does it run faster?" "Is it easy to
read?") it's hard to judge one submission from another.
One idea that I *really* like is a "linux-like" idea, where someone else can
use everything that's OGC and Dunandralis-Content as long as they identify
the Dunandralis-content as such, and use a different name.
Of course, that's something that would take a lawyer, and I just can't
afford that. (I doubt most of the list could, but it's possible.)

P.S. For those interested, Dunandralis *does* have a few rules and such
that will probably be OGL'd--the cosmology setup, maybe the arrangement of
the planes, and definitly the by-laws of the group. The question is, will
stuff like the City of Roswein or Targor Strongblade be OGL'd?
P.P.S. That question, oddly enough, isn't being asked of this list... and
I'm on the verge of rambling, so I'll stop.
