However, solidarity fades away if there's a lack of opposition, and I'm worried that if the new GSL is friendlier, those companies will drop their 3.5 support for 4E. I don't want Kobold Quarterly to become a 4E publication. I don't want Paizo to let Pathfinder go in favor of a new 4E venture (though in all honesty that seems unlikely now anyway). I want third-parties to continue producing 3.5 materials, rather than 4E materials - but without a GSL that heavily penalizes them for it, they may now go ahead with the 4E plans they originally had.

In some weird Alice in Wonderland way, I can totally understand this and feel what you are saying.

But jeeeeeeez. Isn't there ENOUGH 3.x material out there already? I currently have enough quality 3.5 material to DM for the rest of my life. Is there really a need for more? It's one thing to wish for support when your options are limited, but my goodness.... Just in adventures and campaign source books alone I don't even think I could read it all, let alone DM it all.
