[QUOTE="RSKennan, post: 2266017, member: 8256"] As for the OGL on every page, it wouldn't necessarily even have to be visible without scrolling unless there are some vagaries of the license I don't know about- I don't see anything preventing that. Based on a 800 x 600 screen, it could be designed in such a way that you'd have to scroll down to even see it. There's no reason why the same couldn't be done on based on higher resolutions. Even better, that stuff can be done dynamically for each user. So no, it doesn't have to be ugly, just legal. Of course. I'm not looking to make any enemies. It's long been obvious that certain people are hostile to the very idea of an OGC repository for their own reasons. I know that I'd have to be as careful as possible, since there are people who'd love to make an issue of it. I personally have one thing left to finish in this part of the industry (aside from a long-term project with no current deadline) and then I'm out. Anything I'd do towards a repository would be as a fan, but as long as it didn't mean that people would irrationally try to make my life hell, I'd certainly like to be involved in some way. It's just an idea right now anyway; I've thought about this every time the topic has come up in various places, but nonetheless it's still just hypothetical. I suspect that this line of conversation could veer into dangerous territory soon, so I'm done. I should have kept my mouth shut until I knew whether I even wanted to do this on my own site, but I got swept up in the conversation. [/QUOTE]
