[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8904585, member: 19857"] I hope that they come out and unequivocally state "We are not revoking the OGL 1.0a - everything that is currently under it - including both the 3.x SRD and the 5.x SRD - remains licensed in perpetuity forever as was the original intent of the license and we have wording from our legal team that documents that in a legally binding manner so that nobody has any concerns about it going forward. All new content will be released on our new OGL 1.1 that we are working on and we'll have more to say about that as we develop it. We also have plans for some special licenses that we'd like to offer partners that allow them more than what either the OGL 1.0a or 1.1 will for those who would like to sign on to them." That's all they need to do. That's it. It's just that simple. Even just that first sentence (and of course following through on it) would defuse the situation entirely - the rest of it is just altering their plans for their new OGL in a manner that doesn't involve going back on the legal commitment they made over two decades ago and that 3pp folks have just assumed was true all along.
