Licenses for Dragonlance and Dragon and Dungeon et al...

[Scribble]

What was the language for the licenses for things like Dragonlance, or Ravenloft, or Dragon and Dungeon magazines?

Anyone in the know care to share? (if not, obviously I'll understand.)

Language for the license?

I'm going to take a random guess and say English.

But to use them in 3PP, there is no such thing or term in any of the royalty-free licenses (GSL, d20STL, or OGL). To use those IPs commercially in your 3PP, one need to negoatiate with WotC for a separate exclusive licensing agreement.

But forgive me for saying, I want no one but Margaret Weis Production to handle Dragonlance.

I think the question was for the text of the licenses.

I was presuming that the goal was to know what specific licenses were had for Dungeon and Dragon, the magazines, and for the other products, since these seemed to be under a specific license that was not the public license.

I don't think he's asking about the GSL, d20 STL or OGL. He certainly didn't mention them. I think he's asking what the licenses for various licensed products have looked like in the past.

Scribble, I'll be amazed if they weren't under NDAs. I doubt you'll get an answer, I'm afraid.

This is correct.

Yeah, I suspect you're correct, and suspected the same when I posted... But it never hurts to ask right? (aside from possibly wasting some of your bandwith... )

You'll have to ask former licensees, but I doubt they'll disclose the intimate details of their exclusive agreements with WotC.

When it comes to exclusive licensing agreement, the terms must be discussed between the two parties, the Licensor and Licensee.

Yeah like I said, I kind of doubted from the moment I started to type the post that it would be answered...

I'm not looking for a license from WoTC, or anything, just curious.

Then why mention WotC's IP? Exactly what IP are you trying to get a license from his or her owner?

Huh? I just said I'm not trying to actually get a license from WoTC or anyone... I just want to see what some of the licenses WoTC has done (outside of the publicly available OGL) in the past look like.

Thats all.

No hidden agenda, or anything just curriosity- plain and simple.

Alright. As I said before, the royalty-based licensing agreements are exclusive. I don't know if one party can fully disclose the actual agreement without the other party's permission. I'm sure there are standard guidelines that lawyers are taught in order to draft such an agreement.
