[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5769425, member: 10479"] Probably best to ask [MENTION=3312]RyanD[/MENTION] but there were a number of ground floor publishers in before it was public, under a "Gentlemen's Agreement" which continued to be used with others once it was publically available until the first version of the license was finalized. Plus, the OGL is already worked out, so not much to do there really. They could do some sort of alternate license like the GSL, but we've all seen how that turned out (very limited success and bungled at launch). They could also have come up with a OGL 2.0 with some minor adjustments if they would have liked but, really, if they haven't mentioned it, they likely aren't going to do so. I think they learned enough between the GSL debacle and not having the VTT ready in time to take full advantage of it, that having those ducks in a row for this announcement would be imperative. I guess it's possible they just haven't considered using it. ;) [/QUOTE]
