Which is what, in my opinion, WotC wants to doNot exactly. It's like if you are going to build a new ice cream flavor: Chocolemon, as tasty as chocolate and as sweet as lemon. You don't want other companies to make it as well, so you copyright the formula. Sure, they can keep doing their vanilla icecreams, and their frozen yogurts and maybe even chocolate and lemon icecreams, that they do with the formula you gave them for free in 2001. But they can't make Chocolemon. If your company life depends on how good Chocolemon happens to be (because your company is on the verge of being destroyed by competitors), then this might be your only bullet left.</blockquote>
