Monte Cook clearly maintains he has the right to reserve them as closed content even though they interact heavily with clearly SRD (and derived) mechanics. Others claim that they Use the SRD (and other OGC), and hence must be OGC, and indeed are OGC as they are covered by his blanket "... and everything else that must be OGC" statement in his designation. Regardless of who is right, the issue is by no means clear and cut and defintiely murky.Fair enough. They MUST allow you to cure a breach by the terms of the OGL. That said, especially when putting yourself in an adverserial position as working against the publisher's wishes, I am not at all certain that relying on not being sued is a good strategy.Unacceptable. Read the fineprint. You cannot publish with Wikispaces as it relies on a license that is incompatible with the OGL. Nearly any license is, you need a place that doesn't adhere to any particular license.Frankly, your lack of attention to legal details is worrying for a project that seems to hinge on legalities.It MAY be possible to convince WikiCities to provide hosting. They use the GNU FDL license, but have shown willingness to allow hosting wikis with other open licenses. I doubt they would like to host such a contested wiki, however. EDIT: On second look, I think WikiCities would not allow member-only editing, which is vital to the programme. Pbwiki.com provides un-licensed hosting for free, but the program lacks features that I think will be crucial to this wiki to function properly. You can check it out in my sig, I use it for the Ars Magica wiki I opened.You get what you pay for. I doubt if you could find a free wiki hosting service that will serve your needs. As I said, a privately funded server with MediaWiki installed is probably the best solution.</blockquote>
