only reason anyone does it is because they have to, and Wizards doesn't have
to.
I can't imagine, in any stretch of reason or logic, how having someone else go back and mark OGC, and then check it, and then add it to a seperate file, and then have the web-folks put it on www.wizards.com once the book is already out, would be more work than just marking OGC as the books are being written / edited and putting the delcaration & license it into the book in the first place.
They'd have one great big stinking benefit, too: anyone who wants the rules now has to go out and buy their book, rather than just downloading the SRD and then having very little reason to spend $40 for rules that they got, legally, from wizards allready.
