[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 8898110, member: 6871736"] It’s nothing but cherry-picked information molded to fit their canned thesis: Journalist with grudge sparks moral panic over almost perfectly normal contract offer with just [I]one[/I] unacceptable provision that nobody else is emphasizing! The one unacceptable provision is that WotC gets rights to all your creations, which to their credit they do recognize as exploitative, but they insist everything else is perfectly normal license contract stuff. The moment when any already-informed listener probably ought to just press Stop comes really early: they completely misconstrue a sentence in Codega’s article. That sentence isn’t as clear as it could be but obviously means that content creators could [I]produce[/I] far less under the new license, whereas OA takes it as saying there are new limitations on what WotC-owned content the license allows creators to use. They point out that the leaked license draft doesn’t change anything about that, and then they claim Codega is either inept at reading contracts or else is just lying, has ulterior motives, and so on. They really revel in catching their target in a demonstrable error, when in fact they are the ones who are misrepresenting the document they’re discussing. It’s a bad show. [/QUOTE]
