So (and not being argumentative), I can create a totally non-derivative ruleset (i.e totally not D20, I dunno, something that involves tossing coins), release it under the standard OGL, have lots of people take it up & use it, then later improve on it and, because I derived material from Open Content THAT I ORIGINALLY AUTHORED AND OPENED, I am not obliged to declare the derived content as Open Content also? Is that it? Have I got it now? Martin. <confuzzed> _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
