[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8986542, member: 1"] [B]Using the Required Notice[/B] To use ORC you need to put the Required Notice stuff in your product. This is like a legal block of info--they provide an example, but you don't have to format it like that. Basically you must include: [B]ORC Notice.[/B] A couple of sentences of legal text you can copy and paste. [B]Attribution Notice: [/B]You have to attribute all upstream creators of OC you use in the way they requested. This is like the OGL, and is 'viral' in nature, so you might have a big long list of upstream creators you need to credit, which you inherit from the creator you're borrowing from. You can probably copy and paste this from the product(s) you're using, and then add the requested attribution from [I]that [/I]product. [B]Product Identity Notice: [/B]List the stuff you're designating as PI (as in my previous post). A "reasonable, good-faith effort". [B]ORC Content Notice:[/B] Identify the stuff you're desgnating as OC. A "reasonable, good-faith effort". Note of course, as mentioned before, game rules and OC which you have borrowed are automatically OC, whether you declare it or not. That doesn't mean you don't have to declare it though, you still have to make that "reasonable, good-faith effort", but it does cover things you might miss. [/QUOTE]
