Nothing about the OGL affords WotC license beyond what it does anyone else.Edit: As an example, see the MMII. There are two creatures in there from the Creature Collection. It has an OGL and open content (albeit, only the creatures it pulled from CC are OGC, BID). Was what you were saying true, they would have no obligation to do that.Now it's OWN content is another matter. They could release their own content in an OGL product, and subsequently release the same content in another non-OGL product, because they owned the content at all time. But nothing would prevent the distribution of the OGC that appeared in the OGL product by other publishers, however.</blockquote>
