Recommending one another's work is like acknowledging the source of open content: everyone would love to do it, but Section 7 of the OGL makes it a little more difficult. Part of what I wanted to do with the B3 Recommends section was to show that it's really not very difficult at all, and to set a precedent for getting permissions for mutually beneficial uses of product identity like this. (Not every company might be so responsive to emails or so willing to let their name be used, I reckon, I haven't encountered any such companies yet, and in any case this rewards those who are!)One of the things I'll put in the next books is a limited license to use the PI terms "Behemoth3" and "Horde Book X: Noun of the Monster" for purposes of reference like this, so that people explicitly have perrmission without needing to ask. There's already a similar limited license for open content citation: if you re-use part of the book, you're both allowed and encouraged to say where it came from without needing to get permission.</blockquote>
