A closer resemblance to the Open Source community.I can see the appeal, but I think there is cause to release some OGC against the publisher's wishes. Just like there is room to remove the patent from drugs after some time, even though the manufacturers would love to have it maintained. And crippled OGC (always that, with me). And there is no point in holding back on other free OGC. And... I see merit in both the Open Source Community model and the OGC Wiki model.Under your Open Source model, you would need to bar derivative materials. Only the person who first came up with Vitality & Wound points, for example, could contribute it or any variant of it to the community.Then you enter the issue of presenting the same mechanics differently. There is no copyrighting mechanics, and the OGL does not protect from this, but it's a very hard thing to do right legally. Hmm.</blockquote>
