At the very least, you have to have a coherent allegation of wrongdoing - you must be able to state what the defendant did and why it was illegal to do it. You can't just haul a guy up in front of a judge and say, "He done me wrong." In this case, you'd have to have a clause in the OGL that you could accuse the defendant of violating, and be able to explain how you claim the defendant violated it. (Not necessarily prove the violation, that's what the trial is for, but you do have to be able to say what the violation was. And I'm fairly sure there are measures available to the defendant to counter claims which are patently false, e.g., you say a book contains a direct transcript of the Mind Flayer entry in the 3E Monster Manual, the defendant can produce the respective books and show that there is no such transcript.)</blockquote>
