[QUOTE="jeffh, post: 4386843, member: 2642"] I'm not arguing, I'm trying to be as clear on the facts as it's possible to be, given the paucity of publicly available information about what was going on with the OGL/GSL between January and April. (A process not made easier by the fact that the link you gave led to something [I]very [/I]different from what you initially described; no "WotC spokesman" ever seems to have given a response anything like what you at first talked about.) The fact that what was released a few days later was so different from what he described.Perhaps not, but it's worth pointing out, and I may as well do it here, that any time there's lawyers and contracts involved, it is, sadly, unrealistic to expect comments - even simple corrections - to arrive as quickly or in as clear a form as we'd all ideally prefer. We got spoiled by the WotC of eight years ago being a rare exception to that; we'd all like to see that level of openness continue but for reasons known only to itself, today's WotC only rarely chooses to communicate that way anymore. That's why determining what actually happened with the GSL is even an open question in the first place. As much as I may dislike the change in WotC's way of communicating (or failing to), though, I'd like to only blame them for things they've actually [I]done[/I]. [/QUOTE]
