Doing the best imitation of myself
...and that's exactly what I meant. WotC either needs to expand the GSL or simply release 4E under the OGL by extending it to their new product line. There's no way they'll do the latter, which is why it's only a dream. That's a pity, because I firmly believe 4E would be better adopted if there was a broader base for the game to attract.Not to nitpick, but the OGL needs no extension. WotC could release an SRD for 4e under the OGL, and then everyone would be able to use that information along with the open game licence. Arguably, someone could create an OSRIC-like product for 4e, and release that under the ogl, and then publishers would be able to use that... but I would imagine there would be a lawsuit before anyone could safetly do so.
