[QUOTE="sigfried, post: 8911881, member: 1798"] I'm not to concerned about their intent. I know others are, but a corporation just doesn't have any kind of character, good or bad, it's like "True Neutral," whatever makes the most money or they think makes the most money is what they do. Here, they are balancing commercial competition with goodwill. I don't see how they can give more than the OGL 1.0 offers regarding compatibility and content. The only improvement is the branding badge, which has some value. The 1.2 offer gives WOTC significantly more control than 1.0 and offers the same text. They could just leave the 1.0 OGL in place and make a license with a morality clause in return for using the compatibility logo. That would be perfectly reasonable, and its what they did with the d20 logo back in the day during the 3e era. I'm not sure if you are a publisher or not. If you think the 1.2 terms are good, then by all means, sign up. I'm not going to hold it against anyone who wants to do business with WOTC, that's a personal decision and it's not a question of morality or ethics in my view at least. [/QUOTE]
