Refusing the OGL does not actually add value to your product (in fact, systems that are OGL have a greater inherent value because they can be used for the game itself and also in other products thereby creating a greater web of utility and interconnectedness). Moreover, consumers aren't stupid and if you are using d20 mechanics, it will be obvious where your ideas come from. Failure to acknowledge source, and then going further and trying to falsely claim originality, tends to rub the wrong way. I am truly curious as to what the perceived value of the path you are suggesting would be? Or is it merely an intellectual exercise?</blockquote>
