[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8904007, member: 58197"] One thing would be good enough for me: No deauthorization of the 1.0a OGL. That's what I want and it's all I want. I don't need them to release 1D&D under the original OGL, and I don't care what license they do release it under (if any). If they want to put out a license that demands your firstborn child, that's fine with me. I doubt they'll get anyone to sign it, but that's not my problem. But the original OGL was meant to be valid forever, and Wizards has reaffirmed that commitment, in writing, for twenty years. People signed onto the OGL (which involves giving up significant rights) on the basis of that commitment. Furthermore, it is a promise to the community that no boneheaded move by D&D's corporate owner can ever kill the game. Someone can always pick up the torch. Wizards has already done a tremendous amount of damage simply by [I]suggesting[/I] they plan to renege on that. Ideally they would release a new version of the OGL that makes it explicitly irrevocable, but I don't expect that. All I ask is a public statement that the 1.0a OGL will remain fully authorized and valid for the 3E and 5E SRDs. [/QUOTE]
