[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4407127, member: 2525"] I am not shocked in the least. People keep repeating that Clark was 4e's most vocal supporter...and I just never saw it that way because I never viewed him as a GSL supporter. Clark has always expressed serious concerns and doubts about the license and licensing concepts in this field. He's been very vocal about that. I've read some of his concerns, and as a fellow attorney specializing in contracts I simply don't agree with his views...but hey, it's his company, and his right to have a differing view, particularly since he is the one that would take the risk. But I always thought there was no chance Clark would accept the GSL right off the bat. I'd have been far more shocked of Clark suddenly agreeing to the GSL than I would have been if Green Ronin had accepted the GSL, for example (and I am far more disappointed that GR did not, though I do understand). I strongly suspect Clark will get his "clarification" and then go ahead with it...because I think his worries...come from an overly risk-adverse viewpoint and make conservative assumptions that are not the intent of the GSL. I think WOTC will be relatively fine offering that "clarification" to alleviate those worries. [/QUOTE]
