Spellbook project

[gravyboat]

I'm working on a little project to compile all the SRD spells into one neat searchable html help file. As I would like to make it available for download (when the data entry gets finished), I need some pointers on how to make it legal. That is, what type of WotC legal text do I need to insert in the program and where?

Thanks

Ok, here is the deal, I am not a lawyer, or an expert in law in any way. If you want full legal help, I would suggest that you do speak with a lawyer.

What you want to do is make yourself familiar witht eh OGL licence. In the section 15 you want to designate what is Open Game Content. (Since all of the spells are derived from the SRD, you have to make all that open) There maybe other materials that you would like to make OGC, but since I have no idea on what that would be you ill have to make that call yourself.

As a suggestion, you could make a readme.txt file with the Open Gaming Licence in it or you could include it in your html file, as long as it was easy to find. I might even suggest both.

If you have Tome of Horrors, there is a OGL primer in the back of it, I suggest that you take a look at it.
