Message: <blockquote data-quote="SoonRaccoon" data-source="post: 8919971" data-attributes="member: 7040123">If the ORC license works the way the OGL was intended to, it will be a sort of half way point between the CC-BY and CC-BY-SA licenses.The CC-BY license says you may make derivative works, and basically do whatever you like with them. The only real stipulation is that you say what original work you are adapting, i.e. you have to say who the original work is BY.The CC-BY-SA is like the CC-BY, but there's an additional restriction that you are also required to make your derivative work available for others under the CC-BY-SA license. You have to share and "share alike" (SA).The OGL has "share alike" clauses, meaning the parts of your work that are derived from content released under the OGL must also be made available under the OGL, but you're able to carve out other parts of your work that are off limits to be used, generally narrative and setting elements. I'm not sure if that is allowed under the CC-BY-SA license. I expect this is the niche that the ORC will fill.All the Creative Commons licenses are released under the CC0 license. You can think of the CC0 license as releasing a work into the public domain. So, while the Creative Commons nonprofit organization owns the copyright to their licenses, because they've released them under CC0 licenses, it doesn't give them any actual control over people who use their licenses. Hopefully the ORC will be similar.</blockquote>
