But that is exactly the point.  Why on earth would Wizards want a system out
there that made it so you didn't need the PHB?  The ENTIRE point of the D20
System Trademark License is to make people buy the PHB.>>

Then why did they *bother* with the OGL at all?  We have all hashed out here the fact 
that using that you could create a book that was a virtual clone (albeit in different 
words) of the PHB and put that into competition with the D&D PHB.  Which is *exactly* 
the situation they appear to not want to happen...
