Fan use was not even considered.The GOAL of the OGL was to create a safe harbor in which 3pps could publish books compatible with D&D without saying they were D&D (see: the D20 license) and without worrying about needing WotC's permission. Basically, the OGL is "If you follow these guidelines, you are in the clear. Good Luck" SPREADING D&D around the web was not a goal WotC had in mind.How do you provide game mechanics for the setting without polluting the game mechanics section with stuff you wanted only under the restrictive license? The OGL has the Product Identity provision to handle that very detail. CC does not.</blockquote>
