True, there can be more than on interpretation.  But I agree with Clark.
It's what I call a safety blanket.  I don't need lots of money to back up my
IP I publish under this license, which means I will be publishing under it
eventually.

It does give every one of us Non-WotC publisher's an easy solution: turn to
'Big Brother' if another publisher starts abusing our OGC.  It means
Wizard's is the watchdog for the OGL community.  Frankly, that is the way
I've seen it from the beginning.  Since I'm not the one in violation or the
one violated, I felt I shouldn't say anything on this.  But since that
apparently isn't a requirement on this list (sorry, still learning the rules
here) I will say this:  Just cause the Netbooks don't make profit, and there
aren't market forces to police the license, doesn't mean that the Netbooks
or the authors that contributed to them have to accept the abuse, or gather
some money to sue.  They need only turn to Wizards, and notify them of a
breech, and what they have tried.  If Wizards feels that the publisher has
been given amply time to remedy the situation, and hasn't, then they could
pull the plug on that publisher.....

Go to Wizards, or sue with your own lawyer.  Not being a person with that
much spare cash lying around, I'll go to Wizard's first. :)
