[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 8904222, member: 78752"] Okay, please help me out here. I understand this is not a retraction --it's a blog post. If this is not a sufficient statement of [I]intention[/I] to retract, I'd like to help defend that position, but I don't follow this reading. I don't see how anything could "always be licensed under OGL 1.0a" if the OGL 1.0a is deauthorized. I have understood deauthorization to be an all-or-nothing premise since the earliest moments of this discussion, and I don't see how that sword does not cut both ways. Assuming it is legally possible, wouldn't deauthorization make it impossible to license[I] anything [/I]under the OGL 1.0a, regardless of whether it was published in 2000 or after the release of the new closed license? On the flip side of the coin, if material published in 2000 remains licensed [I]despite[/I] deauthorization, how do you weaponize that deauthorization to refuse licensure to future material under the same license? The previous statement was that material licensed under the OGL 1.0a would be [I]unaffected[/I] by OGL 1.1, and I understand why that is a nothing statement, or at least I think I do. [I]This[/I] statement specifically says that material licensed under the OGL 1.0a will continue to be licensed under the OGL 1.0a, and I don't understand how that's possible if Wizards' plans still involve deauthorization.
