Some are, like me. I'm interested in OGC settings for use in free gaming material, but won't touch those that don't follow the rules. This one doesn't. (Why anounce it as an OGC setting at all?)
On a different note, while WotC isn't going to care now, it might in the future and that might mean that Tim loses the use of the OGL:
Tim has far too many good ideas to bar him from easily corrected mistakes...
I actually asked, regarding feats from the FRCS, the names of Gods, spells from the Magic of Fauren, and got the following answer:
As long as I don't reprint the information, making it so that people who wish to use that information must still purchase the books, and providing that those items don't make up the bulk of the material, I can use them.
For example: I can state, in the histories, that Maffelet was badly devestated in the
Beholder Wars several centuries ago.
But I can't print any data on beholders.
I've gotta finish the OGL, so that what is OGC and what isn't is apparent.
So far, the only things not OGC are the names of the Gods.
As far as asking why it's announced to be entirely OGC is simple.
Even the names of the Gods I later come up with, the names of the cities and NPC's and kingdoms, later when I start adding feats, spells, PrC's, more monsters, all of that, including the names of historic persons, will all be OGC.
Like I stated before: With the exception of the names of the Gods, EVERYTHING is OGC. Including monsters, spells, people and places names, etc.
Normally persons, places, and the like are designated IP and/or PI.
