Not that I want to get into a legal debate (the OGL has been discussed ad nauseum, and the topic makes me want to stab my own eyes out these days!) but s2 makes it clear that any OGC cannot have any other terms or conditions applied to it other than the OGL itself. You don't always have to use the OGL to make use of OGC, of course - but it's a safe harbour and makes it easy.
That's precisely what I meant.I can't take your rules and rewrite them under a new license, nor make a version or variant of any of your content under a different license, but I may develop content compatible with your system under a license other than the OGL, so long as I do not re-license any of your work in my new work. For example I could create a web-content setting "book" for your game under my tried and true license:
[EDIT] corrected a copy-paste error on my phone with the below license:

so long as I do not reproduce any of your content or tradecraft.
P.s. I apologize for my terrible spelling. Your site isn't very phone friendly.
[EDIT] I'm sorry, I should drop the subject but its important to me for two reasons A) derivative software cannot be licensed under the OGL, and B) If I'm forced to publish under the OGL I will not be publishing content for your game. I'm not going to contribute content via any license that limits user freedom.
