I think we very much disagree, xechnao.

I don't think so. There wasn't a flood of viable (successful) laternate new startups 8 years ago. The
OGL and d20 STL pompted a flood of them, the better of whom are still around (with a couple of notable exceptions).

I am not sure talent would have gone wasted.

I believe it would. I can think of, offhand, dozens of companies that would not exist without the
OGL. Extanding that, form my own work, I can think of several freelancers who have careers in the industry because of my actions. I am not vain enough to think I'm unique in that, so I multiply that by all those companies out there - Mongoose, Goodman, Green Ronin, Necro and
dozens more have all jumpstarted careers, some in major ways.
Where did Mike Mearls come from?
But we can disagree.
And yet another word from our sponsors
