Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 8899891" data-attributes="member: 18">Good way to spread your own misunderstandings and confusion about the issue OP.You shouldn't have posted this thread, frankly, because it just contains bad advice and shows you do not understand the issue.Legal Eagle himself doesn't fully understand the issue (which is fine, it's not his job to), and I don't say that in a sneering way, but he's clearly not really au fait with the whole "share-alike" aspect of things enabled by the OGL - he doesn't refer to it in his video (or very briefly), and all his references are to using the SRD.Further, the ORC won't help you if you're publishing WotC-SRD-based product, despite you claiming it would. Just add this to the pile of misunderstandings I guess.The point of the ORC is to enable a legal safe harbour for sharing content with others, not just borrowing from one company. That was also the point of the OGL. The thing people focus on, slightly mistakenly, with the OGL, was the aspect of sharing WotC content, via the SRD, but that's just one way it could be used. That's why it was an OGL, not a GSL. The OGL 1.1/2.0 is called OGL, but it's just a lie, intentionally misleading, because it's actually an equivalent to the GSL. It doesn't have the same legal safe harbour for sharing content.You'll use the ORC if you want other companies and individuals to be able to create and sell content for your game. Because you're giving them a legal safe harbour to do so.</blockquote>
