[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 6328567, member: 6669048"] OGL is a license for use of a product that a content creator can use, similar to Creative Commons (which is what Posthuman does). So any game content that meets the requirements of the OGL can apply it to their work, so long as they own the intellectual property they're applying it to. So say I own the rights to Abstruse's Awesome Game that I wrote. If I choose, I can release that game under the OGL. The only material that Wizards of the Coast has licensed under the OGL is their 3.x material. They can, if they want to, license 5e under the same license, under Creative Commons, under the GSL they had for 4e, or any other license they choose since they own the rights. Necromancer is also free to release whatever material they create under the OGL, [I]so long as it is material they own the rights to.[/I] That last statement is key. There's legalese involved, so nuance is very important and it's very easy for confusion to spread over what is and isn't allowed. [/QUOTE]
