Sorry my mistake, correct formulation is "no longer authorized" as you say. By the way, this source give a bit more context to that statement tha the Gizmodo quote more clearly showing that the language us used in the explicit context of stating that 1.1 is an "update to the previously available...

If not taking into consideration the highly problematic use of the word "deauthorized": What is there there in the press release/leak that make you think wizards do not want to be part of the ogl1.0a ecosystem in the sense of allowing things to be published under 1.1 using material from 1.0a?
