Should everyone who rolls a D6 pay royalties to 
Monopoly for using a gambling tool (dice) as a 
game aid? It stinks for Chaosium, but the courts 
have already determined that rules systems are 
not protected intellectual property. YOU could 
do the same thing and re-release the rules yet 
again.

The OGL appears to be a nod to what is already
permissible by law. Save your stones for times 
when they can do some good. This horse is dead.
