[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7685810, member: 15700"] Yes you can. These are the relevant parts: [I]Section 5: 5.Representation of Authority to Contribute: If You are contributing original material as Open Game Content, You represent that Your Contributions are Your original creation and/or You have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License. Section 8: 8. Identification: If you distribute Open Game Content You must clearly indicate which portions of the work that you are distributing are Open Game Content.[/I] Nothing there says that you must list out everything that is open content [i]and[/i] list out everything that's not. All it says is that if you use any open content (including any of your own content that you want to be open), you must specifically say what it is. It's actually quite clear, and there is no need to list out everything that isn't open content because we have existing laws that cover that. The OGL doesn't override those laws, so it would be redundant (and a lot more unwieldy and more work) to require everything not open to be also specifically designated. That means two things. A) any open content that I use must be identified as such. B) all other content that I do not designate as open content is not, and falls under normal copyright protection. [/QUOTE]
