[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 4700504, member: 94"] Right. I am sure WoTC was consternated that folks weren't using [I]their own[/I] free copy of the SRD, that they released themselves. For everyone. Several times. Because of course if folks weren't using d20srd.org to get around having to buy the PHB, they'd... uhh... use WoTC's own SRD to get around having to buy they PHB. Or something. Yes, let's not speak of that thing that WoTC predicted would happen in the very first FAQ they ever released for the SRD-- and if I may paraphrase, said, "If people are stupid enough to pay you for something we're giving away for free, go for it." Let's not speak of that ever again. Nothing that happened with regards to the OGL came as a surprise to WoTC. So it is not as if the GSL is designed to somehow tweak the rules and if folks just "play nice" this time around, everything will go "as intended." The GSL is a complete rejection of the OGL [I]as it was conceived and intended[/I]. [/QUOTE]
