I don't recall stating anything that you are arguing against. I have moved on. Re-read the 2nd paragraph that you quoted.Are you surprised when people in this industry rules lawyer anything they can - even legal documents? Here's a fun one for ya – “Is PI OGC?” I suffered through literally dozens if not hundreds of messages where many of the top businessmen in RPGs seriously debated that pointless little license minutia. I could counter you with saying - What do you expect us to do? Just let WotC interpret these licenses however they like and we should just gloss over any details? We might as well let them publish a GSL that is in its entirety just “You can use some D&D stuff, but not other stuff, and only for some period of time. Don’t worry, WotC will sweat the details so that you don’t have to.” But, really, arguing against that extreme and absurd of a position is silly and doesn’t address anything you say. To actually address you:1 - So nothing. It’s just an interesting discussion looking at the minute details of these licenses, and it could be handy in understanding other licenses. Or it might not be. I have a degree and a half in philosophy, so I’m used to long debates on minute details that may or may not eventually prove to be pointless.2 - No, I don’t want WotC to do anything more about the d20 STL. I see this as just a “Hey, did you hear the one about WotC not following their own license to the letter?” “Oh yeah, I wonder if general contract law address this?” *shrug* “So anyways, I’m glad there’s a revised GSL, oh and look they thought to actually include a termination clause this time…”3 - And, no, I think there are some more important matters for our lawmakers to address.I think we disagree less than you think we do.</blockquote>
