[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 4098047, member: 1254"] That wasnt the problem with the OGL at all. Your analysis is all wrong, respectfully. Of course stat blocks are copyrightable. And no the OGL didnt intentionally leave that issue open cause it was a legal mess. That is just a total misunderstanding of the license, its creation, its history and its use, I am sorry to say. I know that may be public sentiment, but I happen to know because I was there and I was part of it. I understand taht is a commonly held belief. This isnt the first time I've had to debunk this myth, so please know I am not criticizing you. I am just trying to debunk that notion. As for what the new GSL will do with stuff like Tome, I dont know yet. Yes, that material is copyright Necro. We do hold the copyright to Tome1. But that doesnt answer the question. That content was also made into OGC, with WoptC's permssion, so long as the original authors were credited (whcih was our idea). And that content was used by us with permission.
