WOTC seems to think there's a lot of value in producing some material that
other
publishers can freely reuse. I think the same can be true for White Wolf's new
monster book, which is why I found the closed-name option bizarre. Now that
Stewart Wieck has explained the reasoning, it sounds like a reasonable short-
term hedge until the D20 SRD is finalized. For the long-term, though, I wonder
how much benefit White Wolf gains from opening monsters while keeping
their names closed.

I think you're overreacting to what was stated here. No one has put down
White Wolf
or called the company evil. If it's wrong for me to recommend that White
Wolf offer
some "product for free," why are you planning to make use of D20 material that
WOTC is offering for free? Shouldn't you take your own advice and "write
your own
stuff"?
