[QUOTE="GneralTsao, post: 5053504, member: 19027"] As a first shot at an iPhone App, I made an initiative tracker (I'm aware of existing ones—I thought it would be a good excercise) and I was looking to prepopulate the database with names and initiative bonuses for existing creatures. Based on my (very amateur) understanding: 1) The interactive product provision of section 5.5 of the GSL would not allow me to do this. Even if that weren't the case, initiative modifiers aren't in the 4e SRD, so I wouldn't be able to do that. 2) I could use the OGL's SRD, provided I reproduce the OGL license. If these are correct, then I still have a few questions: 1) Under section 8 (Identification), how would I identify the OGC I'm reproducing from the SRD? Would it be fine if I gave a long list on a screen that showed legal information (which would also have the OGL copy), or do I have to have a footer on every creature screen saying if it's OGC or not? 2) Since I'm not contributing any original OGC and merely reproducing existing, I don't need to add myself to section 15 (COPYRIGHT NOTICE), right? 3) I thought I'd read something about a requirement that you had to have an accessible copy, but I can't find it now. If there is any such provision, it only applies to original OGC and not copied OGC like in this case, right? Standard disclaimer: I realize anyone who replies is not necessarily a lawyer, but anything to point me in the right direction would be most appreciated. [/QUOTE]
