And there's the answer to the question I was looking for.  So some of the text is verbatim copied, meaning it should be listed as OGC.

Gotcha.  Well, unless Matthew is forthcoming with an OGC declaration, I just adopted Joe's advice and am steering clear of this product unless I backtrack the original sources.  Thanks for tossing me a clue here.  And thanks to Joe for the advice.

Since all the text of that feat (sans the name of the character in the
example, but including the example itself) was itself copied, the EXACT
TEXT of that feat is OGC, and a third party who has access to UF, but
not to the FFG book in which it first appeared, is 100% entitled to copy
it verbatim, save for the name of the character in the example.

Again, I thought I recognized a couple of things as verbatim copies.  This is what I wanted to know.
