[QUOTE="Ondath, post: 8893303, member: 7031770"] Apparently WotC rebranded to OGL v2.0, and a guy says he got his hands on OGL v2.0's FAQ (he says he can verify it but can't give names): [MEDIA=twitter]1613671192250155009[/MEDIA] Takeaways: [LIST] [*]Royalty reduced to 20%, changes to royalty percentages have a 24 month period before they go into effect, and they say that they expect to negotiate with any 3PP that gets big enough to get there [*]They will release an SRD 5.2 on January 16, it will involve more races and the Artificer alongside SRD 5.1's content [*]Old SRDs will remain in OGL v1.0a untouched, but future products will still be under OGL v2.0 (not sure how that works with offshoot systems like OSR games and Level Up) [*]WotC doesn't immediately get the right to use your work without permission [*]No royalties for charity products, but they will vet the charity first [/LIST] However, this is [B]only[/B] the FAQ and the poster doesn't have the legal text on their hands.
