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).
