[QUOTE="Ondath, post: 8919646, member: 7031770"] Except, that foundation can't be removed anymore. The SRD 5.1 is in CC-BY 4.0. There's no taking it back. Everything that was used in the 3E SRD (to walk back on something I said, psionics as it exists for monsters is included in the SRD, so even psionics can be recreated!) to create OSRIC and other retroclones already exists in SRD 5.1. And since that content is now free to use, any retroclone can continue publishing as is simply by using the SRD 5.1-CC basis. Granted, old OSR works under the OGL still maintain their vulnerability, but literally changing nothing in the game content and making a second print where the OGL legal disclaimer is replaced by the CC disclaimer should be enough in most cases. There is the problem of orphaned works, and I do wish WotC made an irrevocable OGL v1.0b to deal with that, but at least the basic existence of the scene is now secure. [/QUOTE]
