Wizards has repeatedly said that they plan to release a general license. As long as that license allows third parties to release adventures and settings without investing in a prohibitively expensive license or run the risk of a bankrupting lawsuit from Wizards, I'm happy.I certainly would like to see whatever it is that Wizards is planning at some point. The existence of things like En5ider, Fifth Edition Foes, Quests of Doom, etc, Primeval Thule, etc, show that there is demand for some more niche style products that differ from the broad-appeal stuff Wizards is putting out. Fifth Edition Foes, for one, would have benefited from a license that allowed them to use more of the proper 5e language and 5e look and feel. (Uniformity of interface and style is valuable for rapid ease of use. Look at what Microsoft, Apple and Google have done with style guidelines for 3rd party developers.)</blockquote>
