If the idea is to promote the OGL in a good light, coming from just anyone,
this news will seem rather weak. A major force of players revolve around
the web sites, and if a web site is supporting someone or something, then
usually the visitors will go along with it. Getting webmasters to support
the OGL is a major step in the right direction. For example, even something
as simple as this button
http://rpmain.dfxwebs.com/index.html
Is enough to get recognition.
Just my thoughts.
Good luck and god bless,
