I think an OGL for 5E would be very benificial.
I know opponents of the OGL during and after 3E, felt that WotC was hurt by essentially giving away their IP. Maybe...Maybe Not... I'm not going to debate it though. Whether it was bad then or not, I think it would be beneficial this time around because there's one significant difference...
The existence of DDI.
Good point. If they ever get to the point where they are pratically giving away copies of printed books at cost--in order to get people to subscribe to DDI--then there would be no real reason not to go with an OGL, and a lot of little ones (in $1.00 increments) to do so.
Then the next logical step would be to develop a secondary market for that OGL material on DDI, but take a cut of the profits.
