Message: <blockquote data-quote="cdrcjsn" data-source="post: 4410047" data-attributes="member: 60486">Well, month to month lease agreements in California can be changed at the whim of the landlord (except for rent increases of 10% or more).  They can change the terms on the 30th of the month and the tenant has the choice to accept it or not, even if the next month's payment is due the following day.  The tenant doesn't even need to sign the new lease.  Payment is considered acceptance.Redefining the contract unilaterally is a non-issue for me.  it's their playground, they're just letting people play in it.The lack of notice or remediation period is of greater concern.  I guess it comes down to whether or not you think WotC is going to be reasonable in upholding these.  If you're of the opinion that they won't make any moves that doesn't make business sense, then it's fair to think that they'll allow 3rd party publishers time to monitor themselves without petty lawsuits.  If they even notice at all, the most action they'll probably take is to send a friendly reminder of "hey, this is not how you're supposed to be doing this, please check yourself."If you think that they're out to purposely get 3rd party publishers, then the lack of warning is something to be feared.Frankly, I see a lot of the clauses of the GSL as something that WotC put out so that they can enforce things in their favor in case of egregious abuse of the license.  If a publisher is a few days late correcting something because of a change in the GSL, I doubt they'll take any action other than notification to the publisher (if that).I guess I'm in the "they're not out to purposely screw 3rd party publishers, but they have no real vested interest in seeing others succeed," camp.With that said, the only ones that will really suffer from the GSL are ones that require selling OGL stuff to stay afloat and cannot invest in a new product line.</blockquote>
