The first part of 1d again:(d)"Open Game Content" means the game mechanic and includes the methods, procedures, processes and routines to the extent such content does not embody the Product Identity and is an enhancement over the prior artOGC is not just what the publisher declares as OGC Your now playing symantic games. My use of the word was not in the legal meaning, its pretty clear from the contextof my post that I mean that PI is pretty well defined.And I didnt say it was about normal copyright, I merely mention the fact that PI goes beyond normal copyright. so what?Thats funny, I dont see anywhere in the OGL that it says PI must be declared. Point that part of the OGL to me as I must have missed it.Then your bit about wotC releasing lawyers on someone, once again the SRD isnt the OGL, to use the OGL I do not need to use the SRD, just like your example of the Action System. If I am not using something(say the SRD), then I am not deriving anything from it. The game mechanics in the Epic Level Handbook from my example under copyright law are public domain. I can create my own work based on those game mechanics, I even pointed out that the problem in doing so was making sure not to step on their copyright. Derivative work doesnt even apply in this case. Game mechanics in and of themselves dont fall under derivative copyright law. Then your comment on publishers using the SRD, you quote me out of context again and are just repeating what I said, the same paragrpah that your quoting from I say they use the SRD so not to worry about violating copyright law.</blockquote>
