Only to a lawyer's mind. The day ANY of the big gaming companies enter a
lawsuit on this, you will see *nothing* but losers - long before the
judgement is entered. The company will lose, the OGL will lose, the small
game producers will lose, and the customers will lose.

Alec, respectfully, you are so literal that you so often don't get the
point. I will comply immediately. The people *downstream* from me who have
been using that content for the year or so it takes the original producer to
notify me will not get the message until later.

Only insofar as I will have to take my site down. If the producing company
wants damages from me it is likely they will have to show malicious intent
AND that they took the steps necessary to protect their releases from
mis-interpretation (such as putting out an SRD).

Right - and they did it that way for a REASON.
