[QUOTE="Matt Thomason, post: 8920960, member: 6777331"] Your phrasing here is quite difficult to understand - "reproduced or derived from" would include making something based just on the SRD just as much as something that also includes content based on 3rd party material. "Originally" would only apply if you're not using [I]any[/I] source, and are making a whole new game from scratch. You're somehow treating the SRD as if it's any different to any other Open Game Content under the OGL. It's all just text sources you're allowed to draw from. So, for clarification: With Option A (OGL 1.0a) you can draw Open Game Content from the SRD as well as from 23 years of other accumulated Open Game Content made under the OGL (literally thousands of spells, monsters, etc) With Option B (CC LIcense), you can draw content from the SRD, or any other CC-licensed sources you can find, but cannot use that library of 23 years of Open Game Content that has been licensed under the OGL That's the difference. There is also Option C, which is to use both licenses. It's a bit messier to work with, but it's possible, and that lets you draw from [I]both[/I] pools of content. [/QUOTE]
