The evidence is not available any more, but it was there.for which we have no evidence at all, and the fact that the edition was killed so fast basically points to the opposite.
As soon as people stop pushing the lie that 4e did not sell, I will stop correcting them....We can go in circles on this all day long, or we move on and focus on something more productive…
WotC has the legal right to issue new versions of the licence, and at least a fig leaf of a legal theory regarding "de-authorisation". A hypothetical future evil Paizo would not even have that much with regards to ORC, if Azora Law does their job right.It's working for WotC even as we exchanges message board posts! The fact that the powers that WotC is purporting to exercise are not ones that it enjoys under the OGL aren't stopping it from purporting to exercise them.
You are right that nothing can absolutely prevent bad-faith actors from acting in bad faith. But you can certainly make it harder. The OGL made it hard, but clearly not hard enough. With the benefit of 23 years of hindsight, ORC can do better.
