Just because WotC left the public pool doesn't mean we have to as well. Personally, the OGC declaration was always the 2nd thing I read in a product (the first being the back cover overview).

However, I get your point that for 4e open game content is dead unless a third party publisher comes up with their own cool license and lets others use it (given the "spirit of open gaming" among many publishers, I can see that as at least a possibility).

But, yes, for 4e there is no content sharing between third party publishers through the GSL. That is gone.

However, the water's still nice over here in the 3.5 public pool.
