My logic in doing so was that by declaring the classes as PI it would encourage original content and prevent "re-tread." Also, Barrel Rider Games has had plagiarism in the past. By declaring Chapter 2 as PI, it means that fast-buck publishers won't be able to simply copy/paste the open content and sell it in their own site - but publishers will be able to create original material which will qualify under the terms of the OGL.<br /><br />Long story short, not being able to copy/paste classes helps keep things original and prevents lazy publishers from taking the game whole-cloth, slapping a new cover on it and trying to make a fast buck.James M.
