[QUOTE="Aspirinsmurf, post: 8910558, member: 98748"] The "viral" clause in the CC 3.0 is section 8(a): "Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License." Notably though, the CC-BY isn’t "irrevocable" either, it’s just a perpetual, worldwide and royalty-free license under those terms. The viral nature of the OGL 1.0(a) appears to have even stronger wording to me, but I might be missing some nuances. From section 9: "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." Are you now prepared to argue that the CC is also dysfunctionally viral if someone revokes their offer? For the past 23 years, everyone has assumed that Section 9 in the OGL 1.0(a) actually means what it says. If you’ve published [I]any[/I] Open Game Content under the OGL, that content is added to the pool of Open Game Content that everyone can use under the terms of the license (old or new versions).
