Ah, but you forget the DnD industry leader, protected by a solid open license. I am speaking of course about Paizo. DnD lives in Pathfinder by a small company that cares about gamers.
I, for one, embrace our new overlords! Should this all pan out, I mean what's left? Mattel? Cartoon Network? Nickalodeon? Hm, He-Man, She-Ra, Samurai Jack, Space Ghost, Herculoids, Thundarr the Barbarian, Legends of Korra... sold!
More interesting note: what happens to the OGL? Depending on how it was written / implemented, would a takeover of WotC by another company allow the OGL to be removed? Would depend on how strongly written the copyleft was?

Nothing like surrendering before the enemy has even arrived on the field.you're talking about the company that is the forefront defender/offender in pushing back the open license on when something becomes public domain because they don't want to give up profits on Mickey mouse. If they decide they want to destroy something, they will. Because they have enough money to keep throwing at it in time, effort, and if necessary, buying judges like MCI did when they took out MA Bell. Disney has the $ to take the case to the supreme court, even if their case has no merit whatsoever. Only a very few companies could stand up to them, and they are not in competition.
These are the same people who managed to fight off a suit by the people who invented Winnie the Pooh. That was almost as egregious a judgement as Sid Meyers losing the rights for Civilization to the computer game company.
