Hello.
I could understand from Mongoose's statements that all core rulebooks, such as Deus Vult and Elric, will also become OGL, with all content except artwork included in the license. Does this only involve the content, or does it also involve the whole "brand" of say, Deus Vult?
My question is: is OGL only related to roleplaying games or does it also extend to, say, Computer Games? So, if I wanted to make a Deus Vult computer game, would I need to ask permission from Mongoose to do it and would I have to pay to use the Deus Vult title and a "Powered by Legend" sticker on the loading screen? or is it all included in the OGL?
This is merely a theoretical question, as I am not done with my master's degree yet. But in the future I think a Deus Vult game could be quite the thing.
