[QUOTE="robconley, post: 8922719, member: 5636"] For clarity. By using the OGL version of the SRD 5.1 you can say anything based on those rules as open content. Except for a few names in which case you include the CC Attribution and mention that they are PI separately licensed under CC-BY 4.0. This way for somebody who wants to deal just with OGL 1.0a material, they can remix the vast majority of the text as OGL OGC and as long as they avoid the list of names cited in the PI then avoid the worry whether they need to use the CC Attribution or not. But to clarify, I consider this situation overall a wash. Use whatever method seems the clearest to you and your readers. I don't think there will be a resolution since this a situation involving mixing CC content with OGL OGC content. Solution One: Declare only your original contribution (or a 3PP OGC) as open content. And all material including the PI names as CC with proper attribution. Solution Two: Declare your original contribution, 3PP OGC, SRD 5.1 OGC as open content. Include CC attribution for the PI Names from the SRD 5.1. The final work is functionally the same but with two different structures as far as licensing goes. Which is better? I think it will be highly circumstantial. [/QUOTE]
