They could, but they would get a lot of false positives doing that as well, making things costlier and messier. I don't think that helps a larger publisher who everyone knows, but the little guys who are basically under the radar go a bit darker by dropping the OGL and any associated marks like 5e.Still, I think folks would be wise to prepare but not act until we see what WOTC actually does.</blockquote>
