[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 275119, member: 1"] *shrug* In that situation, I wouldn't use it. The only time I would go ahead and use it without someone's blessing is if they didn't bother to reply to my email (or if they replied rudely). It's easy enough to make your own material. Why step on toes when you don't have to? I really can't possibly think of a reason other than downright rudeness. I've asked for, and been given permission to use, OGC on 3 occasions; I've asked for and been given permission to use PI on 2 occasions. Oh, and I've been asked for, and have given permission to use both OGC and PI on several occasions. But if, such as in the example Monte described, someone wanted to use my OGC for immoral or unethical products (at least those that I found immoral or unethical) I would ask them not to use my OGC. If people using my OGC when I'd rather they didn't started to become a regular issue, I'd stop producing useful OGC; I'd think it was a big shame that I had to make it so they legally couldn't do it in order to bring about a situation where they wouldn't. Agreed. I've never said no to anyone, and I think it's unlikely that I will ever do so. I'd just like to think that in that rare situation where I did want to say no, the person in question would respect my wishes. [/QUOTE]
