Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrogReaver" data-source="post: 8874021" data-attributes="member: 6795602">The SRD 5.1 starts out with -Permission to copy, modify and distribute the files collectively known as the System Reference Document 5.1 ("SRD5") is granted solely through the use of the Open Gaming License, Version 1.0a.Section 2 of the OGL 1.0a even mandates that a notice indicating the Open Game Content may only be Used under and in terms of this License."Thus, I believe that not even WOTC could legally release SRD 5.1 out under a different license - as SRD 5.1 would then no longer be solely granted through the OGL 1.0a as it states and while normally they could rescind an offer at any time, couple it with WOTC mandating it licensees reproduce their OGL 1.0a offer on every copy and distribution being done and I think there's a strong case here that they created an offer they couldn't rescind IMO.   However, since they are the copyright holder they could create an SRD 5.2 with exactly the same content as SRD 5.1 and a brand new license - of course if WOTC insists that OGL 1.1 is a new version of the OGL then section 9 of OGL 1.0a kicks in and SRD 5.1 can be offered via OGL 1.1 but that wasn't the scenario the post you quoted was contemplating.TLDR: I agree there are workaround to get the same 'content' released under OGL 1.0a and any other license.</blockquote>
