[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 1825667, member: 9254"] Oh understood. Viral licenses are a beautiful thing IMO. However realize that only existing OGC material is required to be kept OGC. Any completely new creations, crunch or flavor, can be released under OGC, public domain, std copyright, or any other license. As an example, in Phil's starship designs the stats could be OGC while the actual layouts would be L-OGC. (limited OGC) In Construct Mechanus he could have his new feats declared L-OGC. That way the things that he thinks are the coolest, neatest items [b]that are not required to be OGC[/b] and that he wants shared under certain conditions could be released under a license that works the way he wants. Two L-OGL variants could be a non-commercial option (can use it but not charge for it) and a share-and-share-alike variant (redistributed materials should be matched by new material). There are quite a few open software licenses for a variety of conditions. It is silly, IMO, to believe that the "print" industry will be able to survive on a single license and that these creative people should recognize the fact and *be* creative. Come up with a concept for a license, consult one of those rules-lawyers for laws, you know, lawyers, and write up a license that fits their purpose. If you didn't see the need to create something new to scratch an itch we'd all still be using xeroxed copies of "Chainmail" fighting orcs. [/QUOTE]
