As one of the people developing content for d20, statements and attitude by
Kal make me seriously consider hiring an attorney. (Something I'd rather not
do) I'm developing a world (which will be closed and Kal, if you steal
anything, and that's what you'd be doing, expect to be called on it),
classes, races, cultures, and magic styles. What my partner's and I choose
to make open we'll make open. We don't *have* to make anything extra open
(although not opening some of our content would be stupid, IMHO), and if we
choose to close something we have that right.
Just because someone comes along and says "Wow, those are cool rules, *I*
should have thought of them. Hey wait, I just did, now they're open",
doesn't give you the right to do so.
What it all comes down to is that I, as the creator and publisher of my
work, have the right to make open what I *choose* to make open, and to close
what I think should be closed. Would I be an ass and close everything in my
book for cover to cover? Sure. But I do have that right.

You are totally disregarding that any modifications to
open content is REQUIRED by the OGL to be open content.
If you designated it as not and I think it is and I feel
strongly enough to stand up in court to defend myself
against your claims then that is where we will end up.
Nobody had to agree to the OGL to make the microchip or
the eyeglass nosepiece.

Sorry, that explains everything.
