That is what is going on.BUT THERE IS A POSSIBLE -POSITIVE- OUTCOME HERE TOO!Rethinking the GSL could lead to a decision to simply release 4E under the OGL. So I dont want people to go all gloom and doom. Yes, I am concerned. I am concerned at the twists this has taken. The initial meeting with the publishers was awesome. It was well done, professional, and clearly a part of a well-integrated plan. Then upper management got involved and it got yanked. Then, silence. We knew the GSL was intended to be more restrictive. Frankly, I was ok with that. There were thinigs that didnt make sense for Wizards in the OGL if the d20 STL was not used, which it didnt have to be because the d20 logo lost all value and meaning. Now they are back to the drawing boards. There are three options:1. Use the GSL, or a version of it, as planned. With some of the restrictions from the STL and Guide built into the GSL itself. I'd be fine with that.2. Swing to one extreme and say there is no license for 4E at all.3. Swing to the other side and say 4E can be used under the existing OGL (with a stripped down SRD).Until last week, it seemed clear that option (1) was in play and we were told that things were proceeding along with option 1. Now, it is clear that option (1) is not the only option in play and that higher ups are considering option (2). Which means they may also be considering option (3).Clark</blockquote>
