[QUOTE="see, post: 8893369, member: 10531"] I'm not a lawyer, but there's no way to automatically allow all Open Game Content released under the OGL to be used under a non-OGL license. The original copyright holders (WotC for the SRD/MSRD/RSRD/SRD5 and 3.5 [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I], Clark Peterson for the original [I]Creature Collection[/I], Sword & Sorcery Studios [whomever that wound up with after White Wolf was bought] for most of the Scarred Lands stuff, Mongoose Publishing for all their releases, and so on) licensed their stuff under the OGL, not "any nice license that comes along later", and would have to authorize any use of their content under a different license. Exception: If the ORC were declared an authorized version of the OGL by WotC, then Section 9 of the OGL 1.0/1.0a would allow moving all Open Game Content released under the OGL to it. But that's not a trick anyone other than WotC can do. [/QUOTE]
