I happen to know that you are a specialty clothing manufacturer, with a very specific clientele. If a supplier hits you with and increase, or a material spikes upward, then both you and your customers (after you are forced to adjust either prices or stock) are affected. If Clark gets nervous about 4e open licensing, its because he's affected, his employees are affected, and his customers are affected. As a customer of his (and other 3rd party publishers who will be likewise affected), I'm more than a little worried I will have to get the kind of content he (and they) can provide directly from WotC - or more likely that I won't be able to get it at all.Now I completely understand the business case for not having a GSL - now that D&D's d20 engine has spread out to so may other genres (and in some cases, dominates them) its past time for WotC to start getting direct revenue from that product. But that doesn't mean that I, as a consumer, don't have a small stake in 4e being open.</blockquote>
