They are springing a trap on you; it's not just a single product/product line. 6.1 outlines that the same - or similar - content between two books can count as a conversion. So if even the tiniest bit of one of your
4E books is similar to an
OGL book, that book and everything in its product line are now hit with the 6.1 restriction. That seems like springing a trap to me.

It does do that. I just think that the lack of a
GSL altogether would have done that more, and without the fact that some publishers are going to get screwed at some point by choosing to adopt the
GSL.
