The can make a new version of the license with irrevocable or whatever, but that doesn't change the existing license.  All they can do is promise to not try to deauthorize - which they did. Of course they have lost the communities trust about that.  But, if I understand things correctly, and I may not, there is nothing more they can do.My goodness, what do you need? As I said in another thread - I still want more, as in different things, but this exceeded my expectations.And a lot of signs it will be very compatible. So much so, a new SRD isn't needed to write 3PP content for it. That beings said I will be mildly surprised if the don't release an update SRD for 1D&D to CC.Yes, my understanding is that it doesn't have a feature to protect your work like "Product Identity" (except trademarks) in the OGL. I find it a little funny that some people clamoring for D&D to be freely available to everyone are really trying to hold on to their own creations whike using someone else's whole-hog!And that there is not a lot of point with the 5.1 SRD (and possibly more) already available as CC.  You can pretty much create an 3e game from the 5e SRD. The 5e SRD they released to the CC is more inclusive than the 3e/3.5e version in some ways, though missing some 3e-isms too.I expect them to release the 3e/3.5e SRD to CC too. We will see, but I think we will hear more next week. As to why they would do it: there is little value in holding back at this point and it will foster more good will, and they still need as much of that as they can get.Just to be clear, an updated OGL will not do anything about everything already published under the OGL 1.0(a). It would provide a new path forward (like ORC), but it can't go back in time. So even with a new OGL, they could try to deauthorize the 1.0(a) again. There is nothing that can stop those shenanigans' except WotC themselves (and collective push back of course).That being said, I would like either a new, better written, OGL for future use; or they could just adopt ORC if that develops well.</blockquote>
