chicken and egg. somebody has to *use* the licenses for their to be a substantial body of work under them. when the WotC OGL was finalized, there was nothing released under it, and only the promise of one work (the D20SRD) to be released. while there is no single RPG out there that is as big as D&D, others could potentially compete, if they tried, in the open game arena. i wonder what would happen if the D20STL didn't specify which ogl you had to use to satisfy the 5% OGC requirement? -- woodelf <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.home.net/woodelph/ If any religion is right, maybe they all have to be right.
