Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jer" data-source="post: 8906936" data-attributes="member: 19857">Thinking and reading a bit more - they've recreated the d20 system trademark license and pushed it into their new ogl. Those badges that people can put on their products to denote compatibility and the extra restrictions on content were both part of the old d20 stl.So I think they can actually accomplish their stated goals without deauthorizing the original ogl by creating a new trademark license to be able to apply their compatibility badge and encumbering it with the new restrictions. Bad actors get the seal of Wizards approval revoked, nobody is confused about whether Wizards endorses them or not. It's part of why the d20stl was created back in the day in the first place.Also the original ogl was a share alike license, and i feel like they haven't completely thought out what deauthorized but you can still publish or moving to 1.2 for existing products means for a share alike license (and as not a lawyer I'm not convinced I'm sure what it means either). If I gave my permission for you to use my work under a 1.0a ogl and you want to move to 1.2 but I don't what does that mean?I'm going to include all that in my feedback to them when I fill it out. Along with the impacts that not including the 3.x srd has on the community that previous execs made them stewards of.If this is a sincere effort to walk back and save face at the same time its close and suggests they're myopic in thinking its just about d&d at this point. There's a bigger picture than just d&d 5e that they've kicked here.</blockquote>
