They are saying "previous editions" instead of "previous SRDs". Am I reading too much, or is it possible that 4e and/or AD&D will be added to Creative Commons?

Not according to Kyle, he said a BX / 1e SRD would maybe also be possible, not sure he said anything about 4e, and certainly none of them are guaranteed

This is big news! A BX / 1e SRD would be the best-case scenario for the OSR scene that relies on hacking the 3rd edition SRD. Do you know where he said that?

It's possible. I think they've said they'd consider it. Sorta.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice well I don't give second chances because I am no fool.

Giving second chances doesn't make someone a fool, it makes someone a good person.

I really appreciate how well this works with your avatar.

It occurs to me that this should have gone into the One D&D & OGL subforum, because most of this update is either about One D&D, stuff being added to the OGL & CC as a response to the OGL scandal or edition neutral like the cons.

You've never done something wrong and been given a second chance by those around you?

It came up in several of the OGL interviews he did I believe, at a minimum


starting at about 20:55

I somehow doubt Vincent is an entity designed specifically to shield people from consequences when they do things like this.
