[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8900527, member: 59082"] I don't want to derail the thread (too much), but this touches upon a problem that I think clarifies why this WotC OGL is something that people should unite on, regardless of which "side" they're on in other issues. For one, there is no singular correct (or even "progressive") view on issues like the "Hadonzee debacle." One can not see it as a debacle and still be politically progressive, because there are different ways to interpret the phenomena in question. Progressivism does not (or should not) mean we all have to agree on how we interpret things, or what the "right way" to address something is. The OGL is different. It relates to a clear demarcation and tension between corporate entities and human beings, especially smaller publishers and creators. It is not (or far less) a matter of hermeneutics (that is, how you interpret something) but more a matter of economics and creative control. I think there is plenty of room to discuss different responses, how one personally chooses to support (or not) WotC going forward, but a more restrictive OGL means "we the people" all suffer for it.
