I am sure that each person's idea of enforcement would be distinct.The simple fact is, the OGL has very little by way of requirements. I would expect that it is the D20 License that WotC would act to protect. Once a person/company puts something out as OGL, it is open content and cannot be closed afterwards. Also, a company cannot accidentally release somebody else's PI, any such attempt would fail as they lack the rights to do so.Basically, the deal is that the section 15 of the Open Gaming License is supposed to reflect every open source in the books ancestry. Which is why we have a 2500 word license page in Magic of Arcanis  (available Jan. 2 BTW!) . The reality of the situation is that there are oversights constantly, everyone misses something sometimes. To add to this, the error will perpetuate itself onward from the original oversight as other companies reference a flawed section 15 to update the license of their own title. The most one should reasonably expect to get by way of correction is a public "oops, my bad" and a promise to correct it in future titles. I think WotC's 2 year example of a gentleman's agreement should set the tone for OGL behavior.So I suppose the short answer would have been "no".</blockquote>
