Important! Interview opportunity - what do you want to know about the GSL?

[Orcus]

1. Is there, in fact, a "poison pill" provision requiring publishers to make a choice to support either 4E or 3E?
2. If so, what is the mechanic to enforce that choice?
3. To the extent this question is not covered by (2), above, does the GSL preclude the further use of either one or the other license? If so, how?
4. If a publisher adopts the GSL, can that publisher continue to sell prior backstock of previously open products (presuming d20 logos are removed)? And if so, with what restrictions, if any?
5. Is there a revocation clause in the GSL and if so what triggers revocation?
6. If a publisher adopts 4E through the GSL and is required to forgo support of 3E, may a publisher provide supplemental downloads with 3E content to support that 4E product?

I know its probably too late but one more:

If a publisher adopts the 4e GSL, will they be allowed to use it in perpetuity, or does WotC maintain the right to revoke it at will?

I'm a bit surprised. I posted a question yesterday, inside the one-hour timeframe, and I saw the post after submitting it - - - but now it's gone.
It may be too late for the official interview but this is a question that needs an answer sooner or later:

If there is a "poison pill" clause, what does that mean for GSL material published through "Published By Lulu" (or similar venues)?

Explanation: Lulu and other PoD services can provide customers with ISBNs (so that the books can be sold via Amazon or be listed in the book trade). Some of those services make the PoD publisher legally the publisher of a work.
If there is a "poison pill" clause it will prohibit GSL users to use the "Published By Lulu" service since there will most certainly be an older OGL product in the catalogue for that Lulu acts as the publisher.
(The fact that neither I nor Lulu can tell if there is such a product doesn't make things easier.)

There are two threads. The other one is in the OGL forum, and you posted it in there.

I'm not sure if we asked that one specifically. I'll have to go back and check.

Argh. That's what you get when you overload Firefox with tabs...
