[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9058655, member: 54840"] One of the issues with ORC (which is also true with the OGL) is that once you use it for a product, all downstream products need to use it. A CC BY license has no such restriction. You can take CC BY material and license it with other licensed works as long as you abide by the rules and restrictions of the CC BY license (which are pretty easy to follow). The same isn't true with ORC. Since the 5.1 SRD is out under CC BY, it isn't clear why we'd want to use a more restrictive license. For me, I'll be sticking to using CC BY whenever I can, and to show my money is where my mouth is, I released the Lazy GM's Resource Document using the CC BY: [URL unfurl="true"]https://slyflourish.com/lazy_gm_resource_document.html[/URL] Scott, Teos, and I are planning to do the same with material from Forge of Foes. Not the whole book but a lot of the stuff to help people quickly build 5e monsters. [/QUOTE]
