If the license for a system is like the GSA (what 4e was published under), I don't want anything to do with it. Since PF is completely OGL, I find it attractive as a potential publisher and as a regular player. If a game doesn't have the ability to let me publish content for it - I won't even look at it, even if its a perfectly fun game without consideration whether it is open or not. Because I could potentially create content for any game I play, if the rules aren't open, I'm probably not playing it.When I've given negative flak to WotC in the past, its because their license isn't condusive to create 3PP content. I'm sure 4e (and probably Next) is a perfectly fun game, but since it's not very open (aside from create fluff and only use published mechanics), I'm not going to even consider it as a game at my table. Its this reason alone, that I will never look at any future game published by WotC (unless they were to shock me and release a game under OGL or a similar license.)</blockquote>
