[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4417240, member: 23977"] I'm not saying they will or will not. I'm saying you are making an assumption by saying they will. Have they done so in the past? What possible motive would they have? If they make a change that ends up being so powerful, and destructive that it ends up ruining a number of companies, you don't think there would be fallout for them? Look how many people have sued, and won, against things like phone companies, despite having signed a contract saying they agree to be held to the things they are now suing about? Just because the companies signed on to the GSL doesn't make them slaves to the will and whim of WoTC with no recourse. Sure, a company does need to think long and hard about the possible ramifications of signing the GSL, and whether or not the benefits might be worth it, but that's the companies choice. When talking about the license though, I agree with Corjay. A rational discussion about the various points of contention wil yield much more information then simply assuming WoTC is out to get everyone. [/QUOTE]
