The entire copyright statement that you will be including in section 15 of your copy of the OGL applies to the whole work. Nothing else is required; you have satisfied the conditions of the license. In fact, making a list of your sources could be considered a breach of the "indicating compatibility/using trademarks without permission" clause. So it's best to not even try.You really only need concern yourself with designating closed, open, and PI sections on your product... with the obvious limitation that you can't really close what's already open. I'll hasten to re-emphasize that the entire work -- both your new material and any open content you use -- is stilly under copyright. Someone else who isn't willing to use the license receives no special privledges, and it's still protected by copyright law.I should also hasten to add that I don't do this for a living... I'm just a savvy believer in the open game concept. Discussion to be had in the prior places I mentioned goes into a lot more depth than I do and features real experience by people who work with it.There's also a few products on RPGnow that discuss entering the d20 publishing trade. I don't know what those contain never having needed to purchase them, but the people who publish it have experience in the trade.</blockquote>
