Yes, a law can be revoked, but you GENERALLY can't say after the fact that something was illegal if it happened during a period when the law clearly said it was legal.There's already established copyright law, and the OGL was an agreement saying that the rights holder of anything released as Open Gaming Content waives their ability to prevent copying, so long as that content is published with the OGL. Once you waive a right, you cannot post hoc assert that right for things you did while you had waived it.WotC can certainly say "We're not releasing any more OGC material," but I don't think they can say, "That stuff we released is ours again."</blockquote>
