The first are not people that WotC cares about; if WotC could take an action that would get rid of half the players without books and make the other half buy books, they would do it.Even the second group... the people who bought crates of books are the ones that made the money for WotC. Even in the environment of the game, they're the people who keep offering to run games, or who keep the game going from the player's seat. Groups that don't have anyone really into it are less likely to survive, and probably much less likely to bring new players into the game.The Constitution is crazy esoteric. So why does a nation need one? For lawyers it's a big deal, but that's not really useful to anyone else.Without worrying about the content of an OGL, one can like the results. For the actual OGL, it means that I can find the rules online, which is often easier then looking them up in the PDFs. I can also get the rules in various formats the publisher might not support. For something more like the GSL, at least it means there's a host of third-party material; it's easier to surprise them with strange monsters, and run adventures that I didn't convert myself and aren't the handful of adventure paths WotC has put out.</blockquote>
