RE: [Open_Gaming] "Open" Debate

"As I said to Paul Lidberg, publisher of great closed content for umpteen
years,
there's nothing wrong with that. But if your closed content makes use of
OGC,
you should find a way to contribute *at least some* OGC. Why is that such a
heavy burden?"

What if there is no OGC appropriate to the storyline in the adventures?
Should I just "make some up" for the purposes of appeasing people like you?
I should whip up a creature and put it somewhere folks will probably never
find it (and indeed hope they will not, as it's not in line with the
adventures) . . . ?

The issue to me is that you're being arbitrary.  "Open your content yor
you're a leech, and violate the spirit of this movement!"  I thought the
spirit was to allow the industry to flourish, . . . not to
force/compel/berate people into sharing something for the rest of you to
publish.
