D&D General Any movement/update on Creative Commons SRD for previous editions?

With all the OSR and OSE stuff, what are you missing?

In a word: standardization.

It's nice to imagine a world where material actually says "1e AD&D compatible" instead of the alphabet soup of OSR, OSE, OSRIC, ORC, or OPQRSTUV.

...But not 4E?

4th edition is also included, but based on what i've seen in previous discussions on the topic, 3.0 and 3.5 feel like what the community would like to see next. My being exclusionary doesn't reflect what we're thinking internally; apologies if it seemed that way!

Man, the part I was most excited about was older editions (2e, 1e) and 4e hitting CC. Especially 4e, since it's such a unique beast and it has such an ardent group of fans, I'd expect there to be a lot of interest there.

I don't think there is much hope for any TSR era stuff getting done. 4e is slightly more likely, but I really think they aren't going to create whole new SRDs for AD&D or Basic.

That, and the ability to use TSR-like formatting, stat blocks, etc. without worrying about what lines are being crossed.

It always seems to me that the OSR games that hew close to any version of TSR-era D&D might be on thin legal ice, as they're using the d20 OGL which technically only applies to 3e. I'd prefer to see that ice get a lot thicker.
