That's still the plan as far as I know!

Sure, it's a way to do business, and it's not illegal. People who agreed to such license knew what they were doing.
But ethical? Can you say yes without laughing ?

Errr, if I recall correctly WW did mention this publicly. Feel free to go digging and prove me wrong, but I am pretty sure that they did announce this.
The RL license was fairly expensive, going up in price with renewal, and WW was disappointed with the sales of all their D20 lines - they also closed the Scarred Lands in the same announcement, and they owned that setting outright. After the changeover to 3.5 a lot of companies were feeling the pinch. So, WW pretty much dropped out of directly producing D20 materials in preparation for their new and improved World of Darkness.... (Which, locally at least, has been a bit of a flop.) They did continue to distribute some companies' D20 material, Malhavoc, etc.
But I will admit that I find the timing of this latest closing of a license disturbing.
