And I dont mean to be condecending, but its obvious.  The short answer is: Gencon. The long answer is a bit more complicated. Piazo isnt a small company, Its probably never going to be a Large one either. SO split it down the middle and call it a mid-sized one, one of the bigger 3rd party companies. Wotc claimed that it was going to havea $5K buy in for the SRD and gaming licesnse...what, November/December/January?(doing this from memory, so bear with me.) Then it pushed th Feb, Then March....Paizo couldnt sit on their hands and wait for Wotc to crap or get off the pot with the GSL/OGL which was delayed and delayed.... They coouldnt sit on their hands with teh Pathfinder, nor other items.  So in light of the delays they ran OGL. Which in hindsight of looking at the GSL makes them look like geniuses. They needed to have things in the pipeline, and with GenCon pretty much the A-list convention of the year, the delays Wotc was having with the GSL....they really had no choice.  Ultimately, Wotc's delay and the deal-breaker of a GSL created the situation.</blockquote>
