[QUOTE="The Scythian, post: 8908051, member: 6875986"] There isn't really any mechanism for that. In the draft of license 1.2, there are no provisions for designating Open Game Content, designating Product Identity, or crediting works, all of which are required under OGL 1.0a. OGC and PI aren't even mentioned, let alone defined. The terms they use in the draft are Our Licensed Content (at this point, only the 5.1 SRD), Our Unlicensed Content (currently, anything published by WotC that isn't in the 5.1 SRD), Your Content, and Licensed Work (basically Your Content and whatever Our Licensed Content you use). There's not even any space in that framework for OGC or PI. They may claim that license 1.2 is an update to 1.0a, but it doesn't even try to do any of the same things that the earlier license does. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't properly parse the language of the section titled, "NOTICE OF DEAUTHORIZATION OF OGL 1.0a". They claim that this means that you may not use 1.0a (or any earlier version) to publish "SRD content", which seems to suggest that it may still be used to publish [I]non[/I]-SRD content. So, you might be able to make use of non-SRD OGL 1.0a OGC by including a copy of the OGL and complying with it as required. I have no idea if that's a reasonable interpretation or not. [/QUOTE]
