So, the idea of the OGL was "let's get everyone playing d20,
and then they'll naturally gravitate to D&D because we're the
premium d20 game". Like the music industry, I expect Hasbro to
fail to grasp how giving something away can help them make
money. I expect them to make a shortsighted grab at
re-establi****ng their intellectual property rights. I bet the
idea behind the GSL is going to be, "let's let people create
stuff that requires you to own D&D 4e books to play." I'm
betting that the only version of the 4e rules that anyone will
be allowed to publish will be in the D&D 4e core books, thus
making them requirements in order to play any game that is
based on the 4e equivalent of d20.
