Message: <blockquote data-quote="Myrdin Potter" data-source="post: 8909860" data-attributes="member: 6843593">(Reposting from another thread) Adding the the branding with the trademark ampersand does mean that the case for a morality clause is stronger with this license.But it is not needed for 1.0a as the use of WoTC brands and trademarks is already forbidden.The only reason they cite is the need to deauthorize the old license is that morality clause they want to add. If WoTC wants to promote these so called core values, then they can use the official badge program as the carrot.All they need is a new license that allows the sticker with the trademark that marks the product as “official blessed” and in return you agree to the morality clause and WoTC waives the restrictions in 1.0a that says you cannot use the branding. But to get that you need to sign off on the morality clause.That would be a powerful market force as stores can sell those books easier and will look twice before stocking books without it.There might be issues with using other peoples’ work in a product you slap the sticker on, but maybe the OGL license already allows it.There is no need to deauthorize the OGL to get the benefit they claim is so needed.</blockquote>
