While I don't agree with you that footnoting and attribution is a top concern re: the OGL, I do agree with the above sentence.

While I am not for hysteria, moderate speculation and asking "what if" is the basis of much learning.  Particularly regarding a license, I think it is really useful to ask "what if" to see how various interpretations and scenarios play out.

I think it's important to ask opposition questions too, not to haze people with opposition questions, but to double-check that the accepted standard logic is really valid, and to see if it is subject to logical counterattack or based on false premises.  I view such exercises in logic as just that -- exercises in logic.  I think they have utility.  Clearly the mileage of some may vary.

While I may not agree with your assumptions on some things, I don't reject your right to ask the questions or raise the issues.
