Henry, I think that hits the nail on the head. If going copyright is more appealing to publishers then using the GSL then the GSL serves no purpose. The GSL was supposed to put some restrictions on the use of WotC's IP, but by being too restrictive it has prevented some publishers from supporting 4e and encouraged others to go 4e without the use of the GSL.

Hold something to tightly and it can slip through your fingers... it might be that WotC's lawyers are seeing that... or at least Scott and Linae have convinced some of the bean counters that the current GSL situation isn't the most profitable one in the long run for WotC
