Of course, all this did was lead to more net books on the newsgroups and the company earning the moniker of T$R. Being able to use the core material is, for non-publishing designers like us, a boon to conscience, if not a boon to practice.

I don't know if you'd consider buisness, but the actual setup of the OGL and SRD allow me to post things like variant classes and variant rules on the net in all legality. Yes I know chances are low that Hasbro lawyers would knock at my door if the OGL didn't exist and I still posted but it's nice to know that I got Monte's permission to borrow his sorcerer and create something with it...
