I will go with Palladium or RIFTS...
Order of the Stick!
What? It's gaming IP...
OK, in all seriousness (if only because I have no doubt that GITP would publish an OOTS game themselves long before they considered licensing it), I think the video game idea is the right one. And if the system is designed to be felxible and able to adapt to many different things, I think the answer will be Final Fantasy, simply because every FF game has radically different mechanics. You would need a flexible system to cover FF7 and FF12 in the same product. For most of the other games, such flexibility would be wasted. Halo could be done with a single sourcebook to any existing modern/sci-fi game, as could Resident Evil.

I'm voting for Final Fantasy or Zelda
Actually... if that is true about LOtR's licence I'll renounce my Final Fantasy/Zelda vote.
