I'd Also Like to hear some other opinions. I will grant you that a considerably smaller share of the purchasing public will even look at the OGL, much less care that the declarations are convoluted and confusing. I will also grant you that the primary reason that It's not selling is because it's selling to a niche market (within the already niche market of Gamers in general). But if I were at the helm of Chaosium, and had another print run coming up, I'd weigh the potential time and money spent defending my declarations against the relatively small amount of time it would take to correct a few errors. Better safe than sorry should ever be the watchword, if we're to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation, whis is, after all, the entire purpose of the OGL.
Having said all that, I do purchase books primarily for the usability in a game, rather than in a book. I would purchase the Chaosium book, if I were planning to run a campaign in that setting...but not for any other reason.

Not in a cottage industry like this. It isnt the OGC
designations that are making it not sell. Believe me,
and I hope others will chime in here (John Nephew,
etc), OGC issues have negligible market impact. The
purchasing public doesnt give a $h*t in any
significant way about it.
