You can't apply terms to the use of OGL beyond those described by the license itself. If I was reusing that book, I'd follow what was in Section 15
This isn't the first time I see the above clause in a product. Off the top of my head, from my library, Codex Arcanis by Paradigm Concepts (just to name one) also bears a similar clause.
What should I then make of it? Should I just go and use whatever they have written in their s.15, or should I use the Copyright Notice they specifically write for the use of OGC from their books?
If I am understanding this correctly, in order to keep my s.15 manageable it is actually better simply for me to contact the author of every single piece of OGC I wish to use and get special permission to use it, or a single file with the OGC and a one-line s.15, rather than go out and purchase their products and use the material directly from the purchased product. Is this a correct interpretation?
I mean, it would be great in that I would get to talk to a lot of people about using their OGC--hence they get to know who's using what--but talk about tedious and cumbersome.
