It may be that after the buyout, the legal department would have sued, except that the fact that the company hadn't previously done so for several years (despite potential opportunity) would look bad in court. The license didn't change much during that time if my memory serves, though I admit I never studied the legal language of any of the licenses in great detail so I may just be blowing smoke.My point is, the WotC that included the "Though Shalt Not Support Previous Editions Of The Game" clause in the GSL is not the same WotC that released the original OGL. There may yet be problems.That said, the idea of getting around the restriction against supporting 3.X by simply not including the Dungeons & Dragons logo is a tantalizing one, and one I definitely advocate looking into further. If UK can be supported by two lines of product instead of just one, even if he just concentrates on putting out 4E stuff and lets others do the backwards-conversion work with him as editor-in-chief or something, he should still get something for the converted material. We all know he's had financial difficulties, and any avenue that can help him get past them is something I'm 100% behind!</blockquote>
