[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8906947, member: 6790260"] This is...better than I feared, but nowhere near good enough. Not yet. That they're willing to put the mechanics in a Creative Commons license so they're genuinely out of WotC's hands [I]forever[/I] is a gesture I didn't expect. That doesn't mean I trust them an inch, but...it's something concrete, for once. A lot of the statements here still read like disingenuous corp-speak designed to deflect rather than address. I will [I]definitely[/I] want to hear analysis from actual lawyers on the subject. But....well, before I was mad and pretty well convinced it would take months of being mad in order to get something like this. My surprise is enough to make me think, and hope that that "it's making me think" reaction is not a calculated ploy. I [I]definitely[/I] oppose the wishy-washy, content-gating aspect, because that could be abused to hell and back by any current or future license-holders in really, really, REALLY awful ways. Further, I'm not happy about the implicit lack of license iteration/transfer. If person A creates open content, and then person B creates open content, could person C create open content based off of the open content portions of those two? Could A employ open content from B? etc. I am genuinely surprised to say, "this is a start." It is ONLY a start, and still has major problems. But I expected a slap in the face, and I got what [I]seems[/I] like a genuine effort. Time to see what comes next. [/QUOTE]
