However i don't really
understand your example. "Someone" is deliberately corrupting the software
installation by removing
OGC folder - why his hypothetical actions should concern the software
author? Following same logic
that "someone" can strip OGC header and copyright notices from D20 SRD and
distribute this corrupted
version - IMHO its "someone" breach, not D20 authors.

Folder idea my be technically necessary in some cases. How for example would
you recommend to
"clearly identify" as OGC a binary file? Author made a map of a town, and he
wants to make this town
OGC. However map format is binary so he can't include OGC text header in the
map. Seems to me he can
put OGC header only in accompanying description file - with same risk of
file being deleted during
redistribution.<<

Course you can make the image itself include the info... course that would
make the file 1 page of image, and another of text.  Ugly, but it would
work.
