[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 931662, member: 2013"] Quick Example: You pull something from Product A. Product A's Section 15 lists just the SRD and Product A. You then pull something else from Product B. Product B's section 15 lists the SRD, Product A, Product B, and Product C. What do you have to list? Ever product on those lists... think of it this way: For Your Product, the Section 15 must include (1) the SRD (assuming you used it of course), (2) Your Product, (3) anything listed in any other product you use... so you set it up as follows. [b]Stuff direct from your product:[/b] SRD Your Product [b]Stuff from Product A, which you included:[/b] SRD Product A [b]Stuff from Product B which you included:[/b] SRD Product A Product B Product C You thus have: SRD Your Product SRD Product A SRD Product A Product B Product C Commonly accepted industry practice is to eliminate duplicates... so you now have: SRD Your Product (SRD - deleted, as it was already referenced) Product A (SRD - deleted, as it was already referenced) (Product A - deleted) Product B Product C For a net result of: SRD Your Product Product A Product B Product C By the same token, if you draw something from Product G, which lists Products H-Z in the Section 15, you must list Products G-Z in Section 15... which is why you must either (a) resign yourself to a long section 15 or (b) try to find the "original owner/book" and get the shortest S15 possible. However, finding the original is NOT always an easy task due to the restrictions built into the OGL on citing others' PI. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
