It's not a lie to say that they sent out the contract with the terms that they wanted to be final.As I said: it is not about being technical correct. It is about telling the truth.
If we hold WotC to accountable to their word, we should not lie.

It's not a lie to say that they sent out the contract with the terms that they wanted to be final.
How would you describe their characterization of the status of the document from WotC's perspective?No. But I have seen calling them liars, because they say it was a draft. Which is wrong.
Not a lie, but yes it was deceptive. They're implying that it wasn't what they wanted to happen, because it was only a "draft." I mean, I get why they said it that way, but it doesn't change that it was an attempt to make the public view of the company more positive through deception.No. But I have seen calling them liars, because they say it was a draft.

Which contract? The term sheets, which by definition are open to negotiation, or the OGL 1.1, which could not have been entered into unless someone published work under it?It's not a lie to say that they sent out the contract with the terms that they wanted to be final.
No, they have been very clear that they wanted to kill the OGL 1.0a, even in Kyle's interviews. He said their point of view at the time required killing the OGL. They no loner have that point of view, but they did at the time. He has not tried to hide that fact by saying the 1.1 was a draft. That would be silly, because the 1.2 draft also included killing the OGL 1.0(a).Here is the crux to me.
People see the word “draft” and think “oh, WotC didn’t mean it” when it seems more and more clear, regardless if WotC considered them drafts, they absolutely did mean it.
I think WotC is being as clear as they can be but at the same time not making it clear that they did mean to kill the OGL.
So the idea that these contracts were a draft or not is besides the point and is a distraction.
