The FAN network is vastly larger than the OGL network is right NOW. The OGL
network may someday grow to be a fraction of the fan network, but the stuff
that is available through (non-OGL) FAN sites will always likely overshadow
the FREE OGL stuff by a factor of 10 AT LEAST, unless WOTC cracks down on
their online use policy - something I seriously doubt is going to happen
because it would alienate EVERYBODY excep the OGL developers (a *very* small
portion of their market.)

I hope it does.
