[od-discuss] Open Game License 1.0a for approval

Wed Oct 16 19:51:03 UTC 2013

10 months later on the last OD call, we agreed to put the Open Game
License 1.0a http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/ogl.html up for
approval, with the proviso that it is only Open when no Product
Identity is identified, and that if approved, will be placed in the
"Conformant but Little Used, Discontinued or Deprecated Licenses"
category -- see bottom of http://opendefinition.org/licenses/

+ or - votes?

Months ago Chris Sakkas wrote to this list re the subject
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2012-May/000149.html and I
didn't see any followup.

I suggest http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/ogl.html *might* be Open
Knowledge Definition compliant, with the proviso that no "Product
Identity" is defined (akin to FDL with no invariant sections etc). But
I'm not at all certain.

This is an old license (2000). It has been discussed thoroughly
elsewhere, though I don't have a specific reference. Does anyone? Does
anyone know of important uses free of "Product Identity"?
