Open Gaming Content in 13 Mann Robots?

[Garnfellow]

I just realized that this book, which was evidently published with a Traveller license, also contains an OGL license. But there doesn't seem to be any declaration of what material is open.

Am I missing something? It looks like the book is, despite the license, 100% closed content.

The declaration is in the OGL itself.

There's nothing in the declaration that says what is OGL.

The declaration of product identity is a required part of the OGL declaration.

The standard "unmodified" OGL 1.0a §1e reads:

(e) "Product Identity" means product and product line names, logos and identifying marks including trade dress; artifacts; creatures characters; stories, storylines, plots, thematic elements, dialogue, incidents, language, artwork, symbols, designs, depictions, likenesses, formats, poses, concepts, themes and graphic, photographic and other visual or audio representations; names and descriptions of characters, spells, enchantments, personalities, teams, personas, likenesses and special abilities; places, locations, environments, creatures, equipment, magical or supernatural abilities or effects, logos, symbols, or graphic designs; and any other trademark or registered trademark clearly identified as Product identity by the owner of the Product Identity, and which specifically excludes the Open Game Content;

Anything that isn't that nor trademark is open content. If they've added PI themselves, then it MUST be added either as §16 or it must be added in §1e.

I'm guessing this weird squiggle '§' is section

That is its usual meaning, yes.
