They want people to make D&D supplements. Period. No Spycraft, no Conan, no Foundation (not a loss), no Broncosaurus Rex. To my mind, the real issue is "Within the realm of D&D supplements, what will they allow?" Will they let you publish an Elf book if they've got one planned? Will you be able to refer to the gods in the PHB, since they made such a big deal out of it? Will the license be viral? (My money is on 'No'.) Etc.If there is any more freedom in the GSL than in the OGL, it will be in one area only -- the ability to more closely tie your product to the 'implied world' of the PHB. (Or, in other words, you'll have the freedom to use IP you can't expand on or exploit for your own purposes outside of publishing game supplements.)Yes, this is speculation, since no one has seen the final license -- including, apparently, WOTC. But I think it's pretty damn solid speculation, and we'll know...well, hopefully, before 2009.</blockquote>
