I understand that a website like d20 might not exist anymore. But my big worry is software such as dmgenie or maptools. Does the new OGL prevent these products from going forward.

I thought about this because whereas I use hypertext sometimes for rules questions, a big portion of my rules comes from just looking up the spell or feat in dmgenie. I have no interest now in the tools portion of DI simply becuse it doesn't look at intuitive as a dmgenie. And unless they can import downloaded art like maptools i can't see the 3d dungeon all that great. What does the new oGL effect have on 3rd party software?
