Part of the whole "permissive use of copyright" was an explicit promise not to change that permission. Nerd rage, as you're using it, seems to be about the audience creating a social contract that gets pushed on the creator (possibly even retroactively) without their real involvement or consent. The OGL situation is missing the salient feature there, both in that it's not really a creative work/choice that's prompting the response, and in that the contract is quite literal and comes from the company, not the audience.</blockquote>
