If publishers can't make money because people are republishing their material for free, they'll stop using the license. And that's okay. That's what we had before, and the industry managed to survive this long. The license and the material released under it isn't going anywhere, so people who still find it beneficial will still use it.There'll probably always be a mix of OGC and closed content in the marketplace, and that's a good thing, and it's pretty early days right now to be able to tell what percentage of which is optimal. Time will tell.This very ably sums up my stance. Pointing out marketplace realities is not only fair, it's welcome. I WANT d20 creators to do well. I'm one myself. I want to know what I can do to help other creators do better. I just don't want the law getting confused with what's best for the hobby, and I definitely don't want murky moral judgements clouding what are crystal-clear legal issues.</blockquote>
