I believe at almost all of our stuff is open content. It will remain as such until someone uses our open-ness against us. Hopefully, that will never happen. It's been 4 years now and nothing so far...

Basically, I think it would be neat to throw in at least one monster from an OGL OSRIC source in each adventure, or maybe one NPC with an OGL OSRIC class outside of the core, just to shake things up and also to draw attention to other products.
[I've been thinking about writing some OSRIC modules or supplements]
Obviously, I'm just talking about stats, numbers and the name here, not copying & pasting the monster or class descriptions.

Nice idea.

Pod-caverns of the Sinister Shroom and Red Mausoleum from Expeditious Retreat Press are very highly recommended. The first, in particular, is the best designed new adventure module I have seen since Necromancer's Tomb of Abysthor, and all that in just 16 pages.w_earle_wheeler said:
The modules by Rob Kuntz (Pied Piper Publishing) are also good, even if not explicitely OSRIC. Cairn of the Skeleton King is superb, although very heavy on magic items (fixable, but truly over the top!), while I personally didn't care for Tower of Blood, which, for me, had a distinct "2e" vibe.
I ordered a bunch of other products from Lulu back in early december, but they never arrived. I don't know if I really want to give them my money again, which kinda sucks (I don't think Monsters of Myth is available elsewhere), but there you have it.

I'm going to release a Monsters of Myth .pdf, Melan.
Since it's already being file-shared, I might as well make it official.

K&KA will probably be up again fairly shortly - it's glitched out a couple of times in the last few days and come back up again within an hour.
The OSRIC SRD itself is almost all Product Identity, except the requisite stats, mechanics, etc. that are required to be OGC. What happens then is there's a second license that allows use of the Product Identity under certain terms. OGC can't be restricted, but Product Identity can. The reason for doing this with the core OSRIC document is to keep variants from appearing that would confuse people about which OSRIC SRD is the "official" one. OSRIC is all about giving people a shared "brand name" to use for 1e-compatible resources, and thus the brand name needs to be fairly heavily guarded for the benefit of all the publishers.
What the independent publishers do with their OSRIC resources is up to them; some, like XRP, are heavy-duty open source. Others are less so. The OSRIC license doesn't force the publishers to be heavily open source if they don't want to be.
Melan: thanks for the compliments on Pod-Caverns!
