This is *not* the open source community. This is the open *gaming*
community. The rules and the etiquette are different here and should
remain so.

If an environment develops where OGC users are "compelled to contribute
OGC" as you would like, then I will jettison D20/OGL from the Guild
Companion (both modules and magazine). We don't need to use D20. We would
prefer to use D20, but if the environment becomes unpleasant to creators
or publishers, then it's time to leave.
As far as we are concerned, delivering high-quality content should be the
primary means of winning the approval of the gaming community at large. If
the content happens to provide material for the open gaming community as
well, then that is icing on the cake.
