People were also fairly happy to buy 3.5e versions of previous material, particularly when it was mixed with new stuff as well and often fixed flaws in the old stuff (3.5e psionics, for example, were much better than 3.0).The prevailing fear here had been that whatever SRD they'd use for D1D would be released under a much more restrictive license than OGL 1.0(a), and that at least part of their efforts was to make sure people couldn't use the 5e SRD to make material for D1D using the more permissive OGL. But apparently cooler heads have prevailed, at least for now, and that does not seem likely to be an issue anymore. And I think it's far too late for Wizards to make any major course corrections regarding D1D at this point – the stuff they're playtesting are details, but nothing that would make it difficult to make material for it based on the older SRD.</blockquote>
