Yes, I know.  But the OGL is the only license that I know of that is
meant to cover multiple game systems/concepts.  One wouldn't produce
computer-based war games (for instance) under some relationship with
FUDGE.  They might under the OGL.  It could at least be appropriate.

I wasn't trying to in any way suggest that there have never been games
open to development from the outside.  I wasn't referring to any _game_
at all.
