Yes and no. Although in fact the point of "Open Gaming" is to make money for WOTC but we already know that. The point is to be able to use the things that other people designate as open. My grudge is that the point is NOT "how to use the things that AREN'T marked as open" and that seems to be what everyone is arguing about. How to "walk the line" and use things that aren't clearly defined as "open" materials.
