Hi all,
First, this whole magazine discussion also illustrates the issues (no pun

can't try to apply the OGL just to the OGC contained in a product. You have to
apply it to the whole product.
Last, I wanted to ask something about the following . . .

As a matter of example, Ryan, what would happen if a magazine which was
making no use of the OGL or the d20 STL were to use the same Trademarks in an
editorial or essay? Let's say the magazine contains no game content of any kind.
Just essays and editorials.
