If someone found a Section 15 volation in one of our products I would very much appreciate a quick e-mail letting me know about it so we could rectify the situation immediately.
A violation is a violation, even if it is an error. How you proceed to take action toward the violator is your own prerogative.Paradigm said:Depends upon what one means by "violation."
If it was a failure to properly cite another title, that is most likely an error, and if brought to the attention of the company in question, they can put out an acknowledgement.
If it were a PI violation, that would be a much bigger issue.
You're spot on. Any OGC from the SRD being reprinted in a third-party game product must include an OGL. Failure to do so and WotC could sue them under standard copyright law violation (infringement).BrotherD said:Thanks for the input; I appreciate it.
The violation I stumbled across is that the publisher is using the d20 logo on a product that basically reprints spells from the SRD without including the actual Open Game License anywhere in the product. As I understood the OGL, a publisher MUST include the License itself in the product somewhere. Am I off-base on that?
