[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9557575, member: 6906980"] I did a search and the first link I found that actually discussed the legal underpinnings of the ogl supported my understanding that it was never really a legally binding contract or license. If you can't do the same to support your position there's nothing to discuss. They can claim anything they want but my understanding has always been that it was not legally binding one way or another. I can write on a piece of paper that the paper is worth a thousand dollars that doesn't make it so even if I could write you a check for that amount. There are legal requirements for a document to be a license just like there are legal requirements for a piece of paper to be a check. If there is proof out there that I am wrong please provide it since I am not a lawyer. I was once surprised by a story that a check written on a piece of scrap wood could be cashed so perhaps my understanding is wrong but just stating that I'm wrong is meaningless. [/QUOTE]
