Thank you for a well-thought-out post, John.
I, for one, am looking forward to the benefits...and will be *extremely*
careful in how we present the OGC material in our products.
And for the idealists out there that believe I'm a leech, I'll let you in on
a little secret -- we're gonna make *all* the mechanics of the supers rules
in "The Foundation" OGC...which according to *my* legal advice is not
required as it was their opinion that the OGL does not automatically convey
"open" status on all rules...but I think its really the right thing to do.
It's gonna be cool!
