The moral outrage people experience is that the OGL
is misrepresenting itself as being open. It makes
certain things extra closed, over and above current
usage. That's not open. How much sharing and reuse
has happened in the community so far?
It seems to me WotC doesn't want people to refer to
their products and use the OGL. I don't see anything
wrong with asking for clarification or complaining
about it once a month. Some people are not comfortable
entering into the OGL and using a loophole to refer to
WotC products anyways.
I don't know what to call it but telling people to stop
trying to clarify or improve their situation leaves a
certain amount of distaste.
