[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8908699, member: 6796468"] Level Up! is licensed under OGL 1.0a. I write Level Up! content. If 1.0a goes away, I cannot write Level Up! content because I'm no longer covered under the OGL 1.0a's sublicensing. At least not without risking lawsuits from both WotC and EN Publishing (though I know the latter wouldn't start anything). If OGL 1.2a is the law of the land, I still cannot write Level Up! content because it was produced under 1.0a. It doesn't matter how favorable OGL 1.2a is, it still locks me out of writing Level Up! content unless EN Publishing is able to produce a Level Up! revised edition that removes the OGL 1.0a from it. At which time I won't be writing under the OGL 1.0a or the OGL 1.2a, and any compromise the community makes for OGL 1.2a will be irrelevant to me. There is no situation where WotC protects my designing career for Level Up! unless they somehow make an irrevocable and permanent provision that Sublicensing of 1.0a to create derivative works is enshrined in the OGL 1.2a -and- any following OGL Revisions. They won't. Because they don't give a horse's tail flip about me or any other small 3pp. [/QUOTE]
