I have a strong sense that there isn't a consistent vision within WotC for the OGL - different people want different things. My impression is that Scott and Linae have a strong open-gaming vision, and that other parts of WoTC have a strong closed vision; and what wehave is a compromise between the two.

So I don't expect anyone from WotC to come and post about wotC's motivations; different people at WotC may post their own motivations, if they're allowed to, but I imagine there's an official very neutral party line they all have to adhere to - so don't hold your breath!
