[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 274091, member: 1254"] I have never said no when asked. In fact, in addition to giving the thumbs up to people who have asked, at their request I have even reviewed the section 15 of the other publisher's product that was using my content so that they could make sure they were in compliance. That, frankly, is a benefit of "asking permission." There are two times I could see having a problem. If I was reprinting product and someone was planning on using a whole lot of the OGC from the product. Or if the product to be produced was something I didnt want my name attached to--like say something pornographic or distasteful (obscenity, torture or children, rape, graphic drug use, etc). But even then I would only ask them not to, or ask them to wait until my reprint run sold through. If they didnt, I couldnt stop it of course. And I understand that. I guess "asking permission" is not the right word. Because that implies the ability to say no and prevent use. The license OBVIOUSLY doesnt grant that power. What I am saying I quess is more like checking to see if people have a problem with the use. If I wanted to use seomthing from Product X and emailed the publisher and they said "would you mind not using that since I am about to reprint it" I would respect that. The license doesnt require it, I know. Luckily, everyone is pretty cordial about the whole thing--small and large publishers.
