Umm...... but WOTC was the one who released it. It doesn't matter which
employee did it, it was released officially, after the files had been
through a review process (which removed a good bit of information from
other files and changed things in still more files).
As you yourself once said, once something is released via the OGL, it is
open content from that point on (yes, I paraphrased).
Saying that it was the mistake of a single person does not alter the fact
that WOTC is the company who has the authorization to release it, and
through processes that they set up to review material to be released, it
was released. Therefore, it is now legally open content.
