[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 369733, member: 70"] Irregardless of how wrong you were in your execution, it seems to me WotC should have put -something- under the S.15 in MM2 -besides- the SRD accreditation. The entirety of the text of those two monsters is identified as OGC (including the names), and the S.15 only credits the SRD. There is a copyright notice at the top of the page that says Copyright 2000 Wizards of the Coast, but it doesn't reference S.15 and is not referenced from there. Nell. Who just realized it's raining again. S.6 is the relevent section of the OGL v1.0a, and it's pretty straightforward. You update S.15 to reflect the S.15 of any OGC you use, and "...You must add the title, the copyright date, and the copyright holder's name..." to the S.15 of any of any OGC you distribute. If Clark holds the copyright to the razor boar and the scorpionfolk, then WotC should have updated S.15 to reflect that, whether or not it was done correctly initially. WotC can play with their own stuff however they want, but they can't revoke the OGL, and they can't use other copyright holder's OGC without following the OGL*. *They could reach an agreement with a copyright holder to use his material outside of the OGL, but then it's not OGC, they can't declare it OGC, and the OGL doesn't apply. Nell. (edited to add postscript and delete an sentence). [/QUOTE]
