Paizo has said, quite clearly, that the OGL 1.0a is not revocable and it will go to court if necessary to fight for that result. Unlike a myriad of small publishers in this field, it has the resources to do this and it has just declared that it will, if necessary, do so.On a practical basis, it also has the witnesses to do this and key personnel who made all of those decisions -- wrote all the memos, provided legal instructions, and fulfilled those legal instructions and wrote the OGL -- all on its side and willing to tender that evidence before a court in affidavit or viva voce form. I cannot imagine that Clark Peterson, now a judge in Illinois, will not give evidence if asked -- even if for appearances sake, he asks to be served with a subpoena before he provides it.In comparison? WotC has... nothing. They have money to pay lawyers, but at a certain point, that doesn't matter. Practically speaking, that only really matters when the other side doesn't. In terms of evidentiary resources? They got diddly.What they really have is the 5.1 SRD published under the OGL 1.0a and so, consequently, they have their system compatibility with One D&D hanging out there waiting to get whacked like a piñata.In other words, what they have is the most to lose.</blockquote>
