If I did, I wouldn't touch Open Gaming.
I have a problem with a fan making a derivative work, and then slapping a
copyright notice on it and seeking to limit other people's utility in the
contents of that work.
I do draw a distinction on the above opinion between world/setting materials
and game systems and materials that use game systems; I have not yet begun
(even on a personal level) to really explore the ethics we'll be dealing
with when we prepare to create some sort of Open Gaming license for
worlds/settings.
