**************************************************************** 6.Notice of License Copyright: You must update the COPYRIGHT NOTICE portion of this License to include the exact text of the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any Open Game Content You are copying, modifying or distributing, and You must add the title, the copyright date, and the copyright holder's name to the COPYRIGHT NOTICE of any original Open Game Content you Distribute. **************************************************************** So by a technical reading, you're wrong: "exact text" doesn't seem to leave room for question. Yet the common convention is exactly as you describe; and after extensive discussion on this list, I can't recall anyone insisting that you needed multiple references to any given cited work. I have no clue what that means from a legal perspective. > Also, where does it say that your line has to be the last one? It doesn't, as far as I can tell, unless "add" implies "at the end" in contract law. Note also that you ONLY add your line if you actually contribute OGC. If all you're doing is reusing -- such as, say, a simplistic module which uses vanilla monsters and treasure from the SRD -- then I think you have no new OGC to contribute, and you don't add a Section 15 line.
