Re: [Ogf-l] Correct S.15 declaration

Just checking: I have some material on my website that is OGC. I have the OGL on my site as well. I put the following note in respect to the OGC content and section 15:

/Note on Section 15: When using material from this site, you need only copy the copyright information pertinent to the material being used for your Section 15. (For example, if you only use the Arcana Spider and Spider Scion, then copy the copyright information for those two pieces for your Section 15)./

I then proceeded to write four different copyright notes for the 4 different articles I have up at the site. Is this okay?

Only if each reasonably used S15 contains all of the relevant sources.

"Multi-work" declarations have been done by SSS for Tome of Horrors and in the FanCC's netbooks. No one's complained yet.


For a website, though--the safesty way, IMO, to release OGC online is to make individual PDFs (or other single-file non-HTML features) and have them include a custom OGL.
(Oh, and don't forget that everyone has to declare their derivitive works OGC, and update THEIR S.15s, and include the OGL, etc., etc...)
