        Well, I think that mostly backs to the previous poster's point.  
Currently, the only RPG released under the WotC OGL is the SRD.  And 
even that is not a complete RPG system as it is presently released, 
but rather a short jumble of notes.  

        I agree that there is nothing in principle which prevents 
other people from releasing complete RPG's under the OGL.  I would 
welcome such a thing.  However, I understand some trepidation.
