I'm nearly done working on a free PDF that discusses how to combine various OGL SRDs in order to custom design rules systems. Part of this project involves combining rules from various WotC d20 SRDs with Chaosium’s BRP ORC License (both of which presume to be “Open”). I’ve already reached out to Chaosium, and they are totally fine with it.
However, after having posted this topic on other TTRPG forums, a question regarding the legality of mixing OGL SRDs in this way still comes up—specifically in regards to the WotC OGL 1.0a’s clause regarding “no additional terms or conditions.”
I’m wondering if any WotC employees out there could offer a definitive take on this clause (despite the notion that game mechanics can’t even really be copyrighted, I’d like to dot all my Is and cross all my Ts).
Thank you in advance.
