Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

I'm not sure whether it should matter or not, but I don't pretend to be anonymous. This is me: Brian M. McDaniel and Brian Michael McDaniel # 200166 - Attorney Licensee Search

You're a transactions guy!

You're too used to building things up and thinking about how things should work. You gotta learn how to tear it down. That's where the fun is.

(Also, this is killing our hours, isn't it?)

The draft was a license produced by WotC or its agents. Draft v. authorized seems like the language used to indicate which licenses are available for use and which were released for other purposes, such as discussion. This is of course based on the license being open.

Again, laymen here and basing the above on the specific language choices on v.2 and v1

Ryan Dancey just confirmed the above is the correct intention of "authorized," it was a method to differentiate the draft v. authorized version.

"The clear intent of the licence is that it's irrevocable"
