I had a project on the backburner WAITING for news like this.
I know I could have done complex layouts, but don't have the experience with that.

Being able to work with 5e, 5e24, LevelUp and Black Flag all at once, simply, is wonderful.

When the OGL debacle happened, we saw a lot of companies work on their own OGL. Then WotC released it to CC and I think since then, most people want that over an OGL. It's much simpler and easier. So this move is not surprising.

I mean, I think the terms of ORC cut it's own legs out from under it.

Any OGL is going to be more restrictive than CC though, right? So wouldn't every OGL essentially do that?

The ORC license is a lot less attractive than the OG OGL, IMO. I wouldn't see the point to spending the energy publishing something under it as a third party.
