Me too - emphatically. But am very concerned that the Open Gaming License
and the Open Gaming Foundation are used to make the grey areas go away in
the direction of openness - *not* more restrictions.
BTW, when a lawyer says "this is a grey area" what she usually means is that
"the law and its intent does not specifically state this, but we might be
able to argue it".
