You can sell books that were published under OGL without limitation and you can sell books in development that are published within the next 6 months. They’re basically giving a 6 month window to publish. That’s more than anyone that produces LOTR or Star Wars products gets.Considering how generous the new license looks like it will be, I suspect that this will be a useful tool in demonstrating good faith and reasonableness if it does go to court.“Well Your Honour, our OGL 1.0 was ambiguous and was allowing bad actors to use our IP to release things that are pretty distasteful. We de-authorized the previous licence and released a new version as we are entitled to. We have been really fair to anyone using the old license allowing them to sell the products they made when relying on the old license and even gave them a six month window to release more stuff. We offered them a slightly different license royalty free and acceded to most of their terms but they wanted to bind our hands in a way that no sensible company would do. What else could we do Your Honour.”</blockquote>
