[QUOTE="Entropi, post: 4312836, member: 68849"] And by dissatisfaction you mean the incessant bleating of the forum flock. The license has not been out long enough for those who it will actually affect to have adequate time to review it, digest it, and run it by their lawyers, let alone come to any kind of consensus of dissatisfaction. The overwhelming amount of negative reaction so far has been knee-jerk reaction from forumites who, quite simply, have no idea what they are talking about. The amount of ignorance being perpetuated on the official forums is staggering - so many people weighing in on something they know nothing about. One guy, for example, has been arguing non-stop that the GSL is a way for WotC to steal your IP. His notions have been contradicted several times, but instead of addressing his detractors he simply comes up with more bile to spew. If you discount the posts of... a) people who are not publishers and will not be using the license b) people who don't understand what they are reading, but feel obliged to offer their 'expertise' to anyone who will listen c) people who take any opportunity they can get to smear WotC ...I don't believe there exists the amount of dissatisfaction that you claim. I'm inclined to believe that thoughtful, reasonable people interested in using the license - the ones whose opinion WotC should care about - are not spouting off knee-jerk reactions as fast as their fingers can type on these forums.
