Erik Mona commented on it in another thread, it's been commented on here. The only thing to say that they wanted money before seeing the OGL was the press release which did not specifically say you couldn't see the OGL first.Orcus comment was about the Poison Pull, right? No where does Orcus say you had to pay before you could see the OGL? I'm not debating what Orcus said about the poison pill, I'm just saying that the "pay up front so we can sneak stuff in on you, ha ha ha!" stuff you've got going is totally unsupported by the events of the timeframe.Again, there was no payment, there was no early release. It was a plan which (much like DDI) fell apart before seeing completion. The plan as originally stated, and only ever existed as, was for them to sign an NDA, see the OGL, pay money and see the SRD/ game.I just don't know where you've gotten the "pay us, then we'll tell you the terms" thing that you've been asserting. The only place I've seen it is on this board, and it has always been pointed out to be wrong by those engaged in the process at that time.disingenuous though, as folks said it was coming in 05, 06, 07 and finally some folks were right and it came in 08. I can say 5e is coming, and eventually I'll be right also.I don't think they ever said it would be as open as the OGL, but yeah, I had little doubt that it would be restrictive. For a time I figured there wouldn't even BE an OGL for this release. I think they'd probably have been better served by a simple, cheap licensing system than the GSL.</blockquote>
