Even with a legitimate "building on a foundation" though, I can, of course,

right and I'm not just a cynic. But honestly, I saw little "enlightened

mostly the same players - be any different?

e" were a lower-case "use," or better yet,
if the phrase read, "You agree not to use any term designated by another as
Product Identity," then I would be more inclined to entertain a "forbidden
terms" list.
I hope that made se
"make the terms
of the OGL so onerous as to be impossible to comply with it because PI is
too strong" or "make the OGL reasonably easy to comply with because PI is
worthless." I'll take the latter, myself.
Whether or not I'm happy about that is another questio
t;you can't use someone else's 'Thor'" but you CAN
make your own Thor... because that's not using their PI, it's creating your
own.
I'm rambling, I just hope the magnitude of that point - that Section 2
indicates that the License only "sticks"
could go on, but you see how ridiculous this is getting. Now you
can't write a thing. That's why I think you need to re-think your position
on what constitutes "concepts" and "language" and whether or not "ownership"
or "prior art enhancements&quo
fied in order for something to
become PI:
1.) It must not already exist (to the knowledge of the one who designates
the PI) as Open Game Content (for the precise inverse of the reasons stated
in the "unknowingly treading on another's PI debate").
2.) It must be one of t
er clear of using the PI that I am aware of, and rely on the
30-day cure period to keep my backside protected should I inadvertently
tread on "direct ancestral" PI.
Gotta love the 30-day period... keeps the lawyers out of things. :-)

Joey Bob's contract says it's a 'No-No' Word and my contract says "any
'No-No' Word")?
If Joey Bob says, "the" can Bobby Joe tag him for using a word that appeared
on the 'No-No' List?
If Joey Bob says, "butter" can
. Hence, they are clearly two separate and distinct things.
It seems quite reasonable to me to think that since Trademarks are already
well-defined legal entities, there is no need to lump them into the same
category as PI.
PI does not exist outside the OGL, therefore it
unless you want to conclude that there is no such thing as PI created after
September of 2000 because I, as someone who published under the OGL back
then, have not approved of the material changes to the contract I agreed to
back then and so anyone who has PI'd anything after that date has
ossibly slander and libel... and
I'm reasonably sure they could at least recoup their court costs.
That's why I'm REAL glad there's a 30-day cooling-off period in the OGL.
Thanks, Ryan Dancey! :)
(hope this isn't a dupe, got an error message when I tried sending a mo
change, well, they're stuck under the old terms.
Come to think of it, I hope you're right in your interpretation - then
everyone will have to come crawling to me just to add what they want to the
list of PI terms. And I could demand monetary compensation. And if there
#x27;m trying to gauge whether people think this would be a
useful tool (in theory), even if I doubt it will ever see existence in the
real world due to the costs (time, manpower, and money) involved.
I think I'm rambling now, so I'll shut up before I get myself into more
trouble.
