OGL have the product identity, which is a pretty strong copyright the author can put on anything that isn't pure rules.

I would suggest not going with creative commons just because we can't license the BRP stuff, and would need to go with OGL to use RQ anyway, and a second lisence would complicate things.

Whe can license the world though. For the rules, we could go with some very open d100 rules, that would make it compatible with all the other d100 games - or just mark that the rules are not part of the license, that they're the copyright of Chaosium.

But I for one am more concerned with getting something off the ground that intellectual property rights for something that won't be generating a lot of money for any of us anyway.

We're not going to make money on this, that is right. But I think a ShareAlike licence will promote the "openess" part of it.
