[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 4200512, member: 2732"] Regarding #7, part 2, my gut tells me the license is no longer "viral", since it is no longer fitting the "open license" standard, and is now a contract solely between WoTC and the Licensee. My guess is any arrangements to share content from one publisher to another would have to be on a publisher by publisher basis, as well as the third party also having a GSL. I hope we get an official answer to #8, since that is very important for the fan base. Numbers 11, 13, and 15--I don't think they'll ever answer these questions. These pretty much involve us poking our curious noses into how WoTC makes their decisions, and like I said in the other thread from their perspective, it's probably not considered any of our business by WoTC management. Number 16 will be interesting. I guess this all depends on if they are licensing everything, or if they've decided to "hold stuff back" for exclusivity reasons, similar to how certain monsters were under the original OGL. As for Number 17, why should they? They don't have to follow the same standards they ask their licensees to. I think that will all depend on whether they continue to offer legacy products like PDF downloads. I hope they don't give this up, from a collector's standpoint. [/QUOTE]
