The only publisher with which you have the scope to disassociate yourself from either the OGL or d20 licence is WoTC since they are the original copyright holder. Obviously this would require an agreement with WoTC first. I don't see why you'd do this though since the d20 brand is a powerful one.2. All other publishers have to operate within either the OGL or the d20 license, therefore anything (other than their own IP/copyright) in datasets produced for this material would also operate under the same license.3. Any IP contained in a dataset would require separate agreement with the property owner e.g. in order to call an OGC dataset for Iron Heroes by it's name i.e. Iron Heroes, you'd need an agreement with Monte Cook/Malhavoc. Otherwise you'd have to call it something silly like 'Ferrous Fearless' and hope people make the connection. Not that we'd ever dream of being so cheeky with MC, but it illustrates my point.As for all the OGC content out there, sure we'd like to see RPGXplorer datasets of it. Once we have v1.0 out of the door, I'm sure our own dataset forum will begin to get populated.And thanks for the tip on UA, I had NO IDEA that was OGC! Fantastic. I really should pay more attention.</blockquote>
