I disagree.

It's a truce-in-effect to accommodate something beneficial to both parties.
WotC understands that having fans create content and support its brands
builds value.  Consumers enjoy the egoboo of sharing their creativity with
others.

That doesn't mean that the existing guidelines are a good long term
solution, or that we're happy with them as written.  I for one think they
are unethical because they don't require you to pass along the same freedoms
you got from us to other people who might receive copies of your work.  They
are also vague, and are not written to withstand court challenges.  I could
go on for hours.
