I am perfectly okay with the viral nature. But publishers that use content from other publishers it simply builds on top of the existing Sec. 15. I suggested to Scott Rouse that one of the terms in the new GSL be that the publisher is required to create a index/OGC declaration etc of every piece of OGC they used and where it came from in addition to the Sec. 15's. (Note: I suggested that this be hosted on the publisher website to keep page count down). This would help other publishers reuse works from other publishers, keep accurate Sec. 15's and identify commonly shared ideas and concepts.</blockquote> I've heard that before, and I just don't see it as workable.  OGC doesn't exist solely as discrete units of information.  Even a single feat could be rewritten, edited, and combined with another feat from another publisher - by three different contributors after the first.  Doing that for every feat, spell, race, skill use, and prestige class?  It'd be insane.  Instead of a single S.15, you'd supplement (not even replace!) it with an index tracking every piece of OGC?  That's in no way easier.[/QUOTE]
