[QUOTE="Matt Thomason, post: 8906656, member: 6777331"] OGL 1.1! No, wait, it's going to be OGL 2.0! No, wait, OGL 1.2! Most notably: While the open licensing of their mechanics and various clarifications are welcome, the big worry here is still the "de-authorization" of 1.0a. In fact, stating this while also stating existing content licensed under 1.0a remains licensed under that doesn't actually make any sense. If my 1.0a content is still licensed under 1.0a, that includes my right to continue to sublicense it [I]under 1.0a[/I]. Or to put it another way, I can still continue to authorize 1.0a for [I]my[/I] sublicensing. So do they just mean de-authorizing only for future licensees [I]directly from them[/I] (which [I]does[/I] make sense)? - this isn't clear. Now, given that my product can actually be a full copy of the SRD, verbatim, it remaining licensed also comes with my ability (no, actually my [I]obligation[/I]) to continue to offer sublicenses under 1.0a.
