So now there is a new license which is irrevocable, with an SRD of stuff. Which is EXACTLY what you get with the Creative Commons license.And...and this is the super important part...nobody is covered by it until they publish using that new license. Which is EXACTLY what you get with the Creative Commons license.It doesn't, in itself, retroactively fix anything. It can't. If you published under 1.0 or 1.0a, your stuff cannot be automatically and retroactively covered by a 1.0b. By the terms of the license you used, that's not allowed to happen. You would have to re-publish under the new license. Which is the same boat you'd be in for Creative Commons.Which is why it's not accomplishing as much as you think it is. If you have to republish anyway, you might as well use the more protective and more certain license which does that (Creative Commons). Assuming, of course, they include the 3.0 and 3.5 and d20 Modern SRD in it too (which I think they will, let's see).And you say nothing is proof against bad actors but I assure you a CC license is far more proof against bad actors than a new license drafted by the company that's the bad actor. CC is outside of WOTC and not under their control at all. You're calling for the wolves to make a new henhouse because it's the type of henhouse we're all used to.</blockquote>
