If this is the case, then there's no such thing as the "third type of
content" and a whole bunch of stuff has been published under the OGL
using an incorrect interpretation of the license. I wonder if the fact
that WotC hasn't taken any steps in the past five years to correct
this misinterpretation would work against the company if it tried to
start enforcing this interpretation now.
