It is things like True20, the pocket PHB and Conan that soured WOTC I think. Here where products that used their work yet at the same time, DIDN"T force consumers to have the WOTC product.

As time went on, I suspect since the latter was the more common approach, many at WOTC were wondering, "Um, how does the OGL actually help us again?"
And effectively made material better than the core rules sometimes. I still regard Arcana Evolved as far better than the 3.x PHB.
