What about the restriction that your innovations *have* to be released to 
the world, or not at all?  That certainly sounds like an "extra closed" 
restriction--I mean, I'm losing a right that I legally have!


A fair ammount of "sharing" has happened.  Every d20 module you've seen is 
worked off of a "share" from Wizards--a share that isn't even final.  You 
can expect to see more sharing over the next year--and probably a fury of 
activity once the D20STL is finalized.
