[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4608748, member: 14848"] Correct, but what I was referring to is that if Mongoose wanted to convert LoneWolf over to GSL they could and still do Conan as OGL as they are not related lines. It seemed to me people were indicating that once a company goes GSL they can't do anything OGL, which isn't the case from what I've read. But as I imply it seems some companies currently are taking the all or nothing approach to be safe, either going strickly GSL or staying OGL. In truth a company should only stay with the product in a given format if it is selling well for them. Mongoose and GR are having no problems selling their OGL products so I see no real reason to change them over. Hopefully WotC will loosen the reins a bit with the next revision of the GSL , allowing for crossover products between editions. I believe part of the problem with 3PPs not going over to GSL is since there is such a drastic change between editions they risk the same backlash that WotC is seeing right now. Namely people not wanting to change over due to wanting to be able to keep using their existing products "as is" without having to buy all new material or spend time converting everything over.
