[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8867143, member: 177"] So, again, there are two ways you interact with a license. On one side you [I]accept[/I] license terms for the OGL content you intend to copy, modify, and distribute. On the other side, you publish under a license to elucidate terms under which others may accept to copy, modify, and distribute your derivative work.. These are [I]not the same action[/I]. I don't think you get to [I]accept[/I] an SRD under whichever license you choose. I think you get to choose which license terms you offer to the next guy. In the past, there's been no need for this distinction, given how similar v1.0 and v1.0a were. You offered the next person down the line the same terms you accepted. But now, there's a major difference. WotC may be big enough to demand that folks announce works to them, and take financial reports, but small publishers probably don't want to do that. [/QUOTE]
