Whether people agree that the current GSL is good or bad, or whether people agree on percieved entitlement or not because of the OGL, the idea of a deadline demand to WoTC is just a silly, futile, and empty gesture.

This would be like telling WoTC back when 4E was just coming out, that a June release just wasn't acceptable, and then demanded an April release or else. Or else what!? You can't demand or coerce when you have absolutely NO LEVERAGE. All that making a demand like this is going to do is piss off some people at WoTC, and probably the very people that are on the side of releasing a new GSL as soon as possible. There are some people at WoTC that are trying to do this the right way, and release a GSL that works both for WoTC and 3pp purposes. Making unrealistic and unenforcable demands, at best resolves nothing, at worst slows things down even more. I believe Scott is doing everything he can to make this happen. Leave the man alone and let him work. The more he has to deal with silliness like this, the longer it will probably take.
