I agree that there should be no obligation for creative content. I can't
imagine an economic reason why they don't want the names Open. The
"undercut with a softcover newsprint version" doesn't hold up as that could
be done anyway with the same stats and new names. I would think that the
most economic benefit would be gained by opening up the names so they can be
referred to in products (hopefully driving sales of the CC).
