So how does this end for me?
- Wizards acknowledge OGL 1.0a as an authorized irrevocable license.
I don't think that's enough. That just means it's safe until they change their minds. I think we need an OGL 1.0b that tightens up the language to make sure it's irrevocable
and that makes no other changes from 1.0a.
Unfortunately, I see no chance of this happening - I'm pretty sure that morality clause is something WotC will insist on, which requires getting rid of OGL 1.0a. I think this one is going to need a court battle to establish, though I wouldn't want to be the one fighting it!
- That all past open content remains open content under the OGL 1.0a and free to be used as they have been for the past 23 years. Works like the D20 3.0 and 3.5 SRD. The 5e 5.1 SRD as well remains under the OGL 1a.
Absolutely.
Whatever licensing they end up with, this needs to be true.
Unfortunately, I see no chance of this happening - in order to lock down OneD&D as they clearly want, they need to find a way to close the previous SRDs.
- In turn, I will acknowledge they have the right to license OneDnD any way they like. However, I reserve the right to make critical comments about their creative and legal choices.
Agreed.
- The plan to release various sections under the CC-BY 4.0 license be followed through.
- That Chris Cocks, CEO of Hasbro, and Cynthia William, CEO of Wizards of the Coast, each write and sign individual formal apologies to all the publishers impacted by their overreach and inept handling of the situation such as Paizo, Kobold Press, Troll Lord Games, Green Ronin, Gaming Ballistic, Frog God Games, and many others.
IMO, these aren't necessary. Provided the OGL 1.0b described comes about, I don't see any particular need for the CC-BY licensing. And although the PR optics of all of this probably necessitate some further apologies, I personally don't need them - I'm interested in their actions, not words.
