[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 8911422, member: 725"] I think it should be, as that is the better long term gain. BUT I wonder how many will go back to the old/new OGL if/when they see that they can work/profit from it. That is assuming that WotC/Hasbro doesn't just ram a lawsuit down somene's throat that claims that the works they've made are under the OGL licence they agreed too two decades ago and that license has been amended. Don't underestimate the unreasonableness and vicousness of large companies with more money then sense and a battalion of lawyers... TSR is a good example of that, but Games Workshop also has quite a long history of that kind of behavior... Just because you think you've got your license in order doesn't mean there isn't someone out there with a big stick... The old OGL is a perfect example of this... I don't understand that people think that an ORC license is suddenly immune from shenangians. [/QUOTE]
