[QUOTE="BigWeather, post: 4900195, member: 84877"] Ah, OK. Yeah no intention of doing d20 licensing. So I need only document to the user any additions to the Open Game Content (and declare those additions open or not, I suppose)? Any Open Game Content that I use (the stuff referred to in Section 15) needn't be documented to fulfill the terms of the OGL (though, clearly, there are other reasons to document the rules for the user)? As far as updating Section 15 -- the Pathfinder RPG reference refers to Tome of Horrors. Suppose that I couldn't get a copy of the Tome of Horrors; how can I then figure out what their Section 15 used so that I can roll it into mine? I guess that is what Internet message boards are for, but it'd be great if there were a repository of products' Section 15s somewhere. This could become a real issue going forward as products, particularly the more obscure ones, leave print and become very hard to locate. Is this data only my additions to the existing Open Game Content or does it also include existing Open Game Content data? Does that clause preclude implementation on consoles or other hardware that don't allow file system access? I'm hoping that displaying the data, even in XML form on-screen, is sufficient for those platforms. Thanks again for the response (and the one above it, as well, thanks!) -- and of course I understand the INAL qualifier. It is great to hear about your treatment of the OGL, however, as a publisher of electronic product based on it. [/QUOTE]
