[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9646116, member: 8461"] Which certainly puts them out of step with how the community, here on EN World (and elsewhere), has been using it. Again, maybe that's how they use the term elsewhere (i.e. outside of the TTRPG space), but not here. That's not really a differentiating factor with regard to the OGL, which also uses plain language. If the creators are redefining what content is released as open and what's not from product to product, then the license isn't making things easy to understand (or at least, not as easy as other licenses do). I don't know about "many of those" other licenses, but the OGL sets a minimum level of what's available (e.g. you cannot close content that has already been made open), while still allowing for your own original content to be made open or kept closed. So it's not much of a limit. Likewise, "this license is more open because it lets me close more content" seems like a weird hill to die on. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
