Declaration in Section 15

I know the terms of license use require the exact quoting of section 15. But is that entirely true when you know the publisher made a typo on the product name?

This is actually a huge problem, given the incredibly large number of publishers who mangle their own section 15.

This is not lawyerly advice (not being a lawyer, or even a paralegal, or even someone who has been arrested all that often), but I would just put the correct citations, regardless of the original source. That is, just pretend the original source had correctly done section 15.

Personally, I'd go out of my way to notify the publisher of a possible typo in his copy of the OGL, especially if you intend to use his product's material (i.e., OGC) for your own product.

Otherwise, I might have to find another option.
 

It is even messier if you plan to use the section 15 of tome of horror, if you apply the license to the letter, you'll have silly bable like ©[fill in the blank]. If you do not, Necromancer promise to not sue you, but that doesn't prevent other from doing so.
