Career.
Scott Rouse and "D&D" Licensing Manager Linae Foster were the successors at Wizards of the Coast to Ryan Dancey, who created the Open Gaming License (OGL). On April 18, 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced that it would not be renewing Paizo Publishing's licenses for "Dragon" and "Dungeon" and Rouse stated, "Today the internet is where people go to get this kind of information. By moving to an online model we are using a delivery system that broadens our reach to fans around the world." Rouse and Foster worked on a new OGL to support the fourth edition of "Dungeons & Dragons" beginning in 2007, which became the Game System License by 2008. Rouse, the last remaining stated proponent of open gaming at Wizards, left the company on October 12, 2009.
