[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9320635, member: 8461"] You mean besides the aforementioned release of the older SRDs into the Creative Commons? They could release an OGL v1.0b, which would be exactly the same as the OGL v1.0a, except that it adds the word "irrevocable" to Section 4, and is released into the public domain (the same way Paizo did for the ORC License). That would not only give it the same (perceived) stability/reliability as the Creative Commons, but also allow for extant Open Game Content to be used (which you don't get with the Creative Commons). That's the big one. I'd say it would also be worthwhile to make new SRDs for previous editions which don't have them (or don't have useful ones, i.e. 4E), and open up the DMs Guild so that books compatible with previous editions can be made (though OneBookShelf should make a new storefront for it, rather than having it be part of the DMs Guild page itself; given how easily they throw up mirror sites like Pathfinder Infinite or the Storyteller's Vault, that should be easy). I think things like that would go a very, very long way to repairing the harm they caused, and wouldn't take much effort on WotC's part either (the only thing that would require any sort of dedicated effort would be making new SRDs for earlier editions).
