[QUOTE="glass, post: 8899999, member: 12251"] I am basically in complete agreement with the OP (including the bit about [I]Orcs of Thar[/I], which I had not thought of but is a damn good idea). I do have a couple of comments/quibbles: [LIST] [*]While WotC should absolutely release a statement to the effect that 1.0 and 1.0a are irrevocable and they were wrong to suggest otherwise as part of their apology, I would prefer they keep "1.0b" of any unnecessary verbiage about other vesions. Just include the word "irrevocable" in many prominant places, clearly define what an "authorised" version of the licence and specify that said authorisation is also irrevocable, and [*]I would suggest releasing Birthright under the OGL and/or ORC rather than making it PD. Partly because it is putting the remedy where the actual harm was, and partly because AIUI there is some debate about whether it is even possible to unilaterally place things in the Public Domain (which would give WotC wiggle room to renege later). [*]What does '"Corpor-UwU-tist"' mean? :confused: [/LIST] A 4e SRD would be very welcome. After all this time there is one 4e retroclone and it is still in beta, and its s.15 is massive.
