[QUOTE="delericho, post: 8916144, member: 22424"] The hope is that they'll update with a 1.0b that tightens the language about authorization, to make it clear that it cannot be de-authorized. But, no, I wouldn't trust WotC again. That said, it's a bit more complex than that - there's a huge body of Open Game Content under OGL 1.0a that has become orphaned in some sense. So even if everyone active moves over to ORC, there will be a large body of work that is never moved, and then can't be used. Because of that, OGL 1.0a may not actually sunset if WotC back down on deauthorization. True. Though if OneD&D is indeed backwards compatible, it would probably be entirely possible to support it using only OGL 1.0a. Indeed, people published 4e-compatible adventures under that license, that that edition was much less compatible. There is that. There is also the argument that companies should be required to respect their obligations to agreements freely entered - right or wrong, WotC signed up to the OGL and spent 20 years assuring us it was forever.
