[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9271722, member: 7034611"] they don’t have to, it already is… while this was not determined by a court as it never went to trial, I do expect the court to agree. Apart from that they have no incentive to ever try again, as the SRD that matters is now in CC anyway, so it is not affecting the availability of the 5e SRD. There is nothing in it for WotC any more. So yes, it would be nice to eventually get the 3e SRD under CC, but I am not expecting a lot of material that is under the OGL now to bother switching over they did the only thing that made sense, why would you trust WotC to not try again eventually, just because they added a word to the OGL. For 20+ years everyone already agreed it was irrevocable and that did not stop them from trying, so why would adding the word stop some other lame excuse future attempt… when there is no trust, promises do not matter and that won’t change, they won’t release a CC SRD for it. There never was a proper SRD (yes, there is a list with a ton of names and no explanation in it…) and they won’t spend the effort to create one now [/QUOTE]
