Very Interesting. I honestly never realized 3e was under a license of that nature. I do see where Wizards is coming from saying that they need to make money from their investment, but getting a company to negate a previous agreement (that company uses to generate revenue) in favor of a new license should have expected some backlash from the community. Especially if the previous license was more open than the newer one. It is interesting in the comments that people think that this solution is going to work because the gaming community is so small, but I would think they underestimated that community because a.) they are surely technically savvy and b.) already good at setting up and communicating within a large infrastructure to pass information within communities.
I am eager to see how this plays out. I see where both sides are coming from.
