It failed first time round, so is revising. Given that some 3pps have already signed onto the unrevised GSL, or expressed an intention to do so, it seems pretty likely that WoTC will get the rest of the support it wants from its revisions.I'd be quite surprised if those revisions allow the easy production of stand-alone games in the way that the OGL did. What I think they probably will do is give 3pps more rights in respect of licence variation/termination, and more rights in respect of simultaneous production of OGL and GSL products (probably by redefining the notion of "converted OGL product" as it appears in clause 6 of the GSL).</blockquote>
