Anything to be made available under the license is OGC and that OGC pool would be available to use under any version of the OGL that the publisher wants. The OGL 1.0a also requires that any derivative OGC also be considered OGC so that any conversions of OGC to 4e rules would mean that those 4e rules would then be OGC as well. It seems to me that the GSL only allows others OGC to be converted under a separate license from the owner of the OGC is to allow that material to be converted without it it still being OGC. Since the original owner of the OGC still has full legal rights they are allowed to relicense that material outside of the OGL and any derivative material created outside of the OGL license that way would not be OGC. By ever allowing anything OGC into the GSL they then open just about everything to be converted without using the GSL.This is most likely the main reason that the GSL was created instead of a OGL 2.0.</blockquote>
