I think 'copyright' is not grounds for not using the license.If the license is revoked, so is the need to copy it, which could mean I no longer have permission to do so."You may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed under any version of this License" means it's up at the discretion of the licensee, not the contributor. I can't force a licensee to use any particular version of the license, they can choose which one they want.I suppose it could happen that an updated version could put additional onus on the contributor and thus be of interest to the licensee -- "contributor must pay licensee for each use" sort of clause, but it seems greatly unlikely the author of an OGL update would want a clause like that in it...</blockquote>
