[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 8913208, member: 40176"] Here's one way I could imagine it playing out - IANAL, so anyone with better information feel free to correct me. Step 1: Some schmo brings a case claiming that WotC is acting unlawfully due to some small part of the OGL being either invalid or unenforceable. Step 2: WotC concedes the case. Step 3: Since both parties agree that it is invalid/unenforceable, it is now officially held to be so. WotC announce that the version of the license they issued has a problem and that they've nullified it to protect themselves against any possible further litigation. They promise that their lawyers are working on trying to fix it, and expect to have a new draft ready within a few weeks. Six months at the most. Got to cross those Ts and dot those Is properly this time. Meanwhile, all 3PPs please put your publications on hold as they are now in breach of WotC copyright. [/QUOTE]
