[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 3714239, member: 1836"] If the 4ESRD is released under the OGL, then other companies will be able to produce content for it, so long as they are compliant with the OGL as it stands now. If the 4ESRD is released under a more restricted license, then other companies will only be able to produce content so long as they obtain the restricted license from WOTC. In addition, I imagine that someone will attempt to follow the OSRIC model and come up with an OGL version of the 4ESRD that will allow third party development without falling under the restricted license, based on what I've seen discussed over this last year. The OGL cannot be revoked, so it is here for good. However, just because the current Revised SRD is OGL, WOTC is not required to release the 4ESRD under the OGL. (I think they will, though, but I don't want to assume that they will until someone actually says it.) The D20 STL can be changed, revoked or modified as WOTC sees fit. WOTC may also create another limited access license to govern 4ESRD and its third-party development. If they so choose, we will have to wait for the license before we know what can actually be done there. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, Flynn [/QUOTE]
