You saw the posts by Wulf, he politely disagrees with the stance taken by your (derogatorial) "good guys". What else can they do except ask him to reconsider? Which they did? And he seems still unswayed.The "good guys" have a test. Give a highlighter and a book to a 12 year old. Ask him to highlight all the open game content according to the declarations held within the book. If your declaration exceeds the capabilities of the average 12 year old, chances are you have crippled OGC in your book. There are some books where a panel of lawyers would probably all create different sets of highlights.Is that constructive enough for you? Your comments in that last post are highly inflamatory. People who care about clear OGC declarations are not whiners. They aren't hangers on. They aren't trying leech from other authors. They are simply seeking a level playing ground. The license requires clear declaration of the open game content. Why shouldn't the "good guys" complain. The "good guys" provide clear declarations. They follow the rules (even when that is not easy) and they watch others skirt around the rules unpunished.You are far too hung up on your example of Mystic Heroes versus Ars Magica. Who cares about that? You've seen the complaints. You've heard from both sides. There is no reason to make ad hominem attacks against those you disagree with. Such as:You owe Sigil, Yair, and others who've posted here an apology. Sigil invented the term "crippled OGC" and he is by no means one who scoops up works for free.</blockquote>
