So, by referencing a Pathfinder book, you need to reference the SRD. There are precious few resources in the OGL that do not reference the SRD. Yes, there's a lot you can use. But there's also restrictions, which is why Creative Commons was embraced by other companies. If you're not doing the d20 route and want nothing from the SRD, then there's little benefit gained from the OGL. It's understated. I think most people equate the OGL with the SRD, or want a new licence. Again, there's two-three parts that WotC would need to release, a new System Document, a trademark licence, and potentially a new gaming licence. But I'm not sure most people understand how those works. Which is kinda required to get into the publishing side of things. (Which is what got me posting in this thread again, the comment that more than 0.1% of the fanbase would be interested in publishing their work.) Making content is great, but not many people are going to take that plunge. Yes... it's called the Player's HandbookOkay, Kobold Press was working on their stuff prior. But they likely didn't get some specialized document, they likely just got the rough, unformatted draft of the book. That's not the SRD, it's just the playtest version of the rulebook. They distribute that content all the time, under strict NDA. An SRD would be a very different document. That would be nice. But I'd also love a document that gave permission for non-commercial use. Really, that'd be a lot more desirable for me. Where the line is for posting content on websites or free PDFs.</blockquote>
