If there wasn't money in it who NEEDS open gaming. Fans have been
canabalizing rules for as long as games have existed. I made a D&D world
once. I shared it with all my friends and they shared it with theirs. No
OGL. Didn't need it. Check out even a handful of the Fan sites right
now. There are ENTIRE Forgotten Realms extension worlds out there made by
fans. If the OGL never happened would they have cared? Does it effect them?
The only reason a structure LIKE the OGL needs to exist is if people intend
to make a profit.
