I agree, there coverage has been there. There is a problem with perception
of the OGL.
While I believe that the addition of representatives other companies to the
OGF would add to the gaming community's perceptions of it's legitimacy and
the OGL would certainly gain an improved reputation if other existing
companies open themselves to it, I think the only way to REALLY make the OGL
accepted to the gaming community as a whole is through it's use. As more
people begin publishing (both in print and on websites) new rules,
adventures, classes, spells, games, etc. under the OGL the gaming community
as a whole will begin to see just how the OGL can benefit them. Even the
most stubborn person will change his mind about something when he can get
enough benefit out of it.
