D&D General So what about the SRDs?

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

You literally can copy them verbatim from the SRD.

Yes, I don’t know what I was thinking when I posted that!

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

It's hypothetical the same way that revoking the OGL is hypothetical; that's the entire point.

That's the wrong question to ask; the right question is whether or not it's an "actual legal bit of movement" to the same extent that revocation is under contract law.

If you're actually worried about that, then you've completely misunderstood what's being discussed.

I don’t know if your trolling, but if not, it is clear you don’t know what your talking about. Someone could make a dubious legal claim, sure. The difference is all the biggest software companies (and more) would band together to smack you down. That is not the same situation that the OGL is in.

This nonsense again? Yeah, no. It's funny how people seem to think that there's some magic way the "biggest software companies" can just make something they don't like end, despite not having standing to participate in a case as per what was outlined.

You’re just wrong if you think that they don’t have standing.

Right, because they publish so much 5.1 SRD material via the CC.

This response show your ignorance. I will this conversation on that

 

[Alzrius]

This response show your ignorance.

Oh, the irony.

I will this conversation on that

Thanks for such substantive and well thought-out contributions.

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

Oh, the irony.

Thanks for such substantive and well thought-out contributions.

You as well!

I will say that I am aware of my ignorance on this subject.

 

[Alzrius]

You as well!

What happened to you being done with this?

I will say that I am aware of my ignorance on this subject.

Clearly. Because if WotC makes a statement about "withdrawing" the 5.1 SRD from the CC as of X date (i.e. they'll file suit against anyone who publishes under it after that date), and some publisher does then publish after that date, and WotC follows through and files suit against that publisher, no other company gets to be involved. The "biggest software companies" don't get to just invite themselves in to be parties in the suit. They can submit amicus briefs, but that's it, short of throwing money at the other party's lawyers.

Don't you two think you could be spending your time more productively elsewhere?
