[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2114719, member: 10913"] While checking the new download, I noted the legal one, and I'm afraid I have issues with it. The OGC declaration is Aside from the fact that this isn't english ("Materials offeren [B]in[/B] Murchard's Legacy..." or something), you are also not using the "d20 System Reference Document" so technically NOTHING is OGC in your product. Your section 15 shows you use the "System Rules Document", I suspect you are using the "System Reference Document" (no d20 either way); WotC is far too smart to let you use the d20 System trademark even in this circumvential way. Furthermore, it is extremely restrictive and unclear: what is derived "copletely" anyways? What, you had no creative say in the creation of the text, it is completely derived from the SRD? What you want to do, if I understand you correctly, is to decalre all the text as OGC. So do just that: something like "All the text in this document, except pages xx-xx [the OGL and similar stuff] is released as Open Game Content subject to the conditions of the Open Gaming Licence 1.0a. " Or take a look at a Philip Reeds document, see how the pros do it. Anyhow, I'm publishing stuff relating to the setting on [URL=http://www.geocities.com/opendm/]my site[/URL] as OGC, based on your intent. I hope to see a better OGC declaration in that pdf upgrade... (If anyone has notes about my own OGL follies, do tell) Edit: I Am Not A Lawyer. This is just my uninformed, non-binding, etc., opinion. [/QUOTE]
