As a non-lawyer outsider who gets his knowledge from Law and Order and Suits, I would also think a danger people don't seem to consider is the issue that even IF you can form a class of affected publishers, given that this OGL has never been challenged (IN THE RPG SPACE/CONTEXT) in court, you have a crapshoot depending on which judge gets it, how they feel about big companies vs little guys, their understanding of open licenses., etc. And depending on how they come out, that will affect all those publishers, for better or worse, because it will also become settled case law regarding this particular hobby/product.
Not every company is Volvo, creating and refusing to patent seat belts. I dare say most companies, especially in America, are straight out of the Thomas Edison school of theft.
