From the GameInformer.com interview...
Will WotC create a special "signed" license for third party publishers who wish to take full advantage of a new license [5eGL]? Will there be any special consideration for the "big boys" in the market? Will the iconic d20 system settings make a strong comeback?
Do we even want them to make a comeback?
Will a new 5EGL allow for the creation of variant games and pocket PHBs? Or will WotC keep a tighter reign on the market by limiting enough of their IP to keep the 3PP products 100% compatible with the new game's core rules?
Will WotC only license out the core/basic classes and not the game's advanced classes?
Speculate.
I wonder about the part I've underlined. What will the theoretical open license truly look like? How open will it be, if WotC decides to open up part or all of D&D Next?Can a new edition of Dungeons & Dragons succeed without a more open approach to licensing, like we saw with the OGL of 3rd edition?
I think that an open license speaks to how people think about D&D, and in some ways it is a big part of the game’s culture. We want people to feel like we’re making an effort to include everything that they love about the game, and we’re exploring options for third party publishers.
