And speculate as you like if it might be a late attempt to head off OGL alternatives to 4e, especially if sales thus far for 4e have been good but not up to what Hasbro expected given the investment in the edition change and its associated digital products.

Bingo!
Wotc would not be backtracking unless
4e needed the help. If
4e sales were rocking there would be no leverage internally with legal, I suspect, for this kind of a reversal. Of course, it remains to be seen if the actual changes are substantive or merely cosmetic. I'll guess minor changes to dispose of stock but no change to the at will termination clause, and no change to the once
GSL, no
OGL clauses. Lipstick on a pig, I'm thinking. Unless
4e is REALLY in trouble!
And yet another word from our sponsors
