Most lawyers on the mailing list imply (since they don't give legal advice) that anything not OGC is outside the safe harbor created by the OGL. You are daring the copyright holder to sue you when you leave the safe harbor.Ryan Dancey (who penned the OGL) has said the list is examplary not exhaustive.But this isn't normal copyright, this is a contract between two parties. A contract between two parties can include agreements that go beyond the boundaries of copyright. The 1st amendment guarentees free speech. A Non-disclosure agreement is a voluntary forfeiture of that inalienable right. Thus copyright analagies have little place in discussions involving the OGL.This is not accurate. PI must be declared. If it isn't declared, it isn't PI. Period. The laundry list in the definition of PI is not applied to the work to discover the PI, the PI is explicitly declared.Regardless, if something is not clearly marked as OGC, it's off-limits in an OGL compliant work. Unless you want to be sued.</blockquote>
