[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2806964, member: 10913"] There is nothing in the license that requires [i]such[/i] a designation, no. The license [i]does[/i], however, require a [i]clear[/i] designation of which poritons of the work are distributed as Open Game Content, and I am sorry but from where I am sitting this designation does not comply with this requirement. I know Wulf disagrees, apprently you do, but that's my view. True, and I apologize for that. It was spoken (well, written) in anger. I have no intention whatsoever of ignoring his designation, nor of misuing his copyright. If I ever gave that intention, it was unintentional. Wulf gave his premission for me, or anyone else, to use his copyrighted material under the OGL. I'm not going to ignore his OGC designation, but everything he [b]did[/b] release as OGC is OGC, and republishing it will not be abusing his copyright, it will be Using it. What he released as OGC is indicated in his OGC designation, so I can by no means ignore it. Evenmoreso, I will not be releasing anything based on his or anyone else's OGC if they did not intend to release it as such, [b]even if the wording of their declaration can be intereperted otherwise[/b]. It may piss me off, but I'm going to give him (and anyone else) the benefit of the doubt and assume that what is OGC is what they [b]meant[/b] to be OGC. Surely you do not consider releasing what someone meant to be released as OGC to be misusing his copyright or ignoring his designation? I am not going to release Mythic Heroes as OGC anyways, not soon, as I mentioned above. Not unless I change my mind about incorporating it into my current game, and even then it will take about a month I think, and I'll probably edit it substantially. The amount of effort is irrelevant, it is the clarity of what is and what is not OGC that is the issue. That product is pdf, BTW. I don't need to OCR. [/QUOTE]
