[QUOTE="Nifelhein, post: 2411912, member: 14129"] Twisting wording is not actually what is supposed to happen, but I am not willing to address the impressions and misconceptions people have over lawyers and their job, although I can easily say that literal wording is not the most common conception of law in my country for quite sometime, it has been during dictatorships and despotic governments, though, Brazil has been into a military kind of those until around 1980, which is the year i was born, by the way. Now I can easily say that having two nams and make the more exotic and interesting one and the more common or OGC derived one closed and open, respectively, is not breaking any kind of issue with the OGL, and I would say it should be the best way to address this issue and oen that leaves both you and your audience with clear basis. Proper names usuay are product identities, like Thyrin there seem to be indeed, what i find an actual problem is that people tned to restrict themselves to the OGl when they could easily expand with the suggestion Otu gave, give guidelines on how to change the PI to the approppriate term. I love Midnight, for example, and the Wildlander has one ability that has the term "The Shadow in the North", which is a PI, there is nothing worng in me taking that ability and posting it on a website, but there is a problem with the PI term, if I change it to something else, though, I might end up with a meaningless writing... the best thing you can do is to avoid using any terms you want to have as PI in the open content writing, or at least, mark them with italics, for example. And CR2000, I must say you are right, but I what i do see as politness is that a company usually has a lawyer to consult with and although a lawsuit does cost money it is also rather common to have companies address any violation of their rights as threats of lawsuit and absolutely nothing else. Anyway, i think we should get back to the bestiary and the IH as whole, as much as i like laws stuff i recognize most people are bored to death with it... ;) [/QUOTE]
