(I might be wrong about this, but it seems incredibly stupid if a license update can place obligations on someone who did not accept the update.)  Mostly it would be about confering rights and obligations on me as licensee, and to affect change in mechanisms within the license itself (e.g. changing the process for terminating it)EDIT: Or basically <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/wotc-backs-down-original-ogl-to-be-left-untouched-whole-5e-rules-released-as-creative-commons.694850/post-8919811" target="_blank">what pemerton just said</a> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
