[QUOTE="Gilwen, post: 3507977, member: 1871"] Yah Ranger I'd leave you dirty too :D As for the citing the source thing. The license is attempting to protect your work from claims of compatibility (stopping claims of compatibility with DnD was probably the driving force), at least that's how I see it. if you want to refer to other's trademarks then you have to get a little creative within the scope of the license. The license my cite other reasons but it's be a while since I read it word for word and honestly don't remember. If I were a publisher I wouldn't want someone to take my OGC, screw it up or apply it in a way that might reflect poorly on my company and then be able to tie it directly to my company by citing it inline or any number of other possible ways. Or to be able to source a piece of OGC and then be able to claim their product was compatiable with my line when in fact it might not be outside of whatever OGC they reused. I don't necessary like the way the section 15 is done because you have to reproduce it exactly from every source which means you have things in your final section 15 that you may not even have sourced, even indirecdtly. If you want to force ppl to cite you then in your S.15 you can add text to it and they have to reproduce it exactly. Gil [/QUOTE]
