Message: <blockquote data-quote="Drawmack" data-source="post: 1039996" data-attributes="member: 4981">There are two very tricky parts of doing  a computer program that makes use of the OGL.1) Clearly marked OGC. Easiest way around this keep ALL data in files in the same directory and designate everything in that directory as open content with the program itself as PI.2) The clause about no other restrictions. The OLG has a clause that states you cannot put any restrictions other then those in the OGL on anything released as OGC. If you take my advice above this is not a problem. However if you mingle code and OGC then the only way to clearly seperate things is to open some of the code as OGC. You can do this, but you've got to read all the licenses on all the software you use to write your software and make sure that none of them restrict you in any way. This is why most of the OGL programs are not written in compiled languages (java excluded) because the compilers often link their own stuff into the exe and then put restrictions on what you can do with that exe.</blockquote>
