(well, the list lurkers at the time, anyway.) I would hazzard that there is a greater concentration of knowledge about the OGL here than anyplace else outside of WotC.
Attorneys, while no doubt versed in many aspects of law, are very rarely specalized in the OGL's two obscure fields. A knowledgeable gamer that sees a violation and wants to test their own understanding of the OGL as much as anything won't spend the time or money for an attorney--since there's no way to get a profit, he'll just ask the silly question here and see what pops up. Of course, the powers-that-be have also been much more than accomodationg, answering just about every direct question ever posed to this list at least once. That's a pretty good reason to ask things here all by itself, if you ask me.
