As discussed with a colleague, you shouldn't read contracts like you read English. When reading contracts you need to read them in context of the contract, no assumptions of what's outside it.Because 'OGL v1.0a is unauthorized' is in this license, it applies if you accept this license. The correct place to revoke it would be outside this license. Ditto the bits about other SRDs. I now read this mess as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SRD 5.1 is licensed under OGL v1.1 [leaving out SRD 5.1 is currently licensed under OGL v1.0a... it would make things easier if it were something other than SRD 5.1, even if all the text was the same);</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SRD 5.1 is no longer licensed under OGL v1.1 (i.e. OGL v1.0a is 'unauthorized'... for SRD 5.1);</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">other SRDs are not licensed under OGL v1.1;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">other SRDs must be licensed under another license (which they currently are: OGL v1.0a).</li> </ul>I might be totally wrong (I trust you'd know better, I'm not actually trained in law)... but this is consistent and the various elements don't depend on assumptions of what is outside this license.That someone could read it otherwise might not have been the intent behind how it was presented... but I can't rule it out and I doubt Hasbro is unhappy about that.</blockquote>
