A negotiated license isn't something that anyone, WotC or third-party publisher, would want.Strictly speaking, that creates a large amount of work for everyone involved, with no real benefit. Having to go through a negotiation process each and every time someone wants to produce a compatible printed product would rapidly create a huge queue for WotC to slog through. That would mean they'd need to devote time and resources to other peoples' products, while the third-party publishers would be stuck waiting for their products to meet WotC's approval.Requiring negotiated licenses sort of defeats the point of having an open license in the first place. You want a license so that you don't have to independently negotiate to make a compatible product - that's something that any company can try to do already.</blockquote>
