So if someone made an OGL in all but name just to get around the current GSL and released a game with that new license and publishers released material for both 4E and that other game, you are certain that Wizards would have no problem with it, ever, regardless of staff changes and whoever Hasbro appoints to the company's top job? Is this what you are saying?

As long as the potential for abuse is there, it is not acceptable, as far as I am concerned. The OGL+d20 combo was perfect because it was abuse free. Wizards didn't like BoEF so the company just went OGL. Fearing a new edition, go OGL. Want to make your own game with modified d20 rules, go OGL.
