I don't think any lawyer has agreed to your position specifically, if I understand what your position is.Every lawyer in this thread has had different interpretations. He is the only one that has chimed in so far on mine.
So 1 lawyer saying something isn’t super convincing in it’s own IMO.
I mused about the possibility of the OGL creating a collective of "Contributors" who are collectively obliged to act in a certain way regarding the entirety of the OGC in perpetuity, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. And I am no lawyer anyway.
No copyrights are being transferred under the OGL regime (only the right to use copyrighted material under certain conditions), and the OGL isn't the articles of association for some entity separate from the parties to the contract(s). Neither is it a statute. It's a series of contracts.
