No one is arguing that most licenses aren't public. The GSL however is not like most licenses and one of the main differences is that it will be public because that is its entire point. The point is to give 3rd parties the legal safety blanket to reuse WotC IP under certain circumstances. If this is to be similar to the OGL like they have stated then it will likely also be needed by every Tom, Dick, and Harry to post certain campaign stuff on the web. If this was a private licensing deal such as your deals with WW and Paizo then there wouldn't be an issue, but it is not. It is the public license that everyone will be using come June 6th and therefore a item that everyone is interested in because it does impact more than licensed publishers.You are also making an assumption that we don't know about. Is the 5K buy in also a right to comment on the license or is it as we have been told just a early look at the rules and an exclusivity period. If it is a license comment period then they should say so. So far everything that we have been told is that the license available to the early adopters will be the same as the final version. WotC has said nothing about there being a comment period, even for those that pony up 5K. If this is why it is under NDA then WotC should say so, if not they should tell us why it is under NDA.I am glad you are giving your opinions on the matter as you are one of the experts on the OGL and I am glad you are here. I am noticing a trend though here with your posts where your comments are coming off as fact and that that should be enough to end the discussion. I don't know if it is intentional and I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that it is not your intent, which is why I am letting you know what it is looking like in print. Unless you have been hired as legal council for WotC on this matter and authorized to answer for them then that is one thing, otherwise myself and others would like to hear this from WotC themselves.Edit: Spelling.</blockquote>
