Is there some legal input int owhether there is an implicit grant of re-use? I have always gone by the rule that unless a legal document states it in black and white it is not there! >> [snip] >> The way to stop people from abusing your Trademarks in the section 15 is >> to >> get people to start obeying section 6 more closely.

As it is now I'd be more worried about people adding commentary like >> >> "Special thanks to our good friends at Green Ronin for [name of >> book][copyright]" or something like that. We have already established that you must include all the parts of referenced books section 15 even if that means including a copyright notice for something you are not using. Therefore section 15 can contain spurious entries. What is stopping someone from getting hold of the section 15s from the most popular d20 products and simply including them in their section 15 in order to gain a competitive advantage (small advantage I agree but possibly significant). >> Hopefully Wizards will once again come down hard on violators this Gen >> Con. >> (Though it would be nice if they acted more frequently, I understand why >> they cannot.) They can only come down hard on violators, what if there has been no violation? Simply the rules bent as far as they can go?
