I thought Matthew said that "normal" Mongoose works, which usually derive only from the SRD would continue to use the "Copy my rules, but rephrase them" form of declaration, while compilatio n works would be different. 2) Can the author of Open Content really make a request like this? Obviously he can since he just did, but I'm not sure what his recourse is if the publisher decides not to mark his content any differently than they normally do. Doesn't the OGL pretty much grant me the right to mark your work as I see fit once you've released it as long as I comply with the other terms of the OGL? _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
