[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8905508, member: 58172"] It is spin because what matters is the OGL 1.0a. Any attempt to obfuscate it is deceptive. Even if a new OGL 1.1 would come into existence, the OGL 1.0a still remains in effect. People can use the OGL 1.0a or the OGL 1.1. (There are still people that use the OGL 1.0 rather than the OGL 1.0a.) An Open License cannot have a morality clause because it must be legally "without friction", functioning everywhere automatically independently of whatever is happening "upstream". An Open License can probably be a "bully pulpit" that says something like, "We recommend boycotting any products that use this license for the purpose of hatespeech." It would lack legal force, but voice moral force. Each time the Open License gets replicated it can be required to include this recommendation. [/QUOTE]
