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!
I get the impression that individually a lot of people support open-gaming -- but that individual/personal support breaks down when it comes to identifying what is "best" for WotC and D&D. Or in other words, Open Gaming is great...for the other companies.
