If you wanted to use Fuzion for a commercial product it cost money for the 
license. Also as I recall you can't reuse someone else's Fuzion material in 
yours. That doesn't strike me as very Open, just as a good fan policy.

FUDGE is admittedly much closer to being Open, but it's more metasystem 
than system and has weird dice. While I like the system I don't think it 
has mass appeal.
