Notably, a mechanism that allows one side of the agreement to modify the terms at will without the permission of the other side, and only gives the option of "take the update, or quit using the OGL"Until I see the updated 2.0 and am sure it contains no mechanism to push future changes onto me while preventing my future use of earlier versions of the license I did agree to, I cannot be comfortable using it no matter what the rest of it says.  I need a solid ground to work with, one that I know will not be removed from under me unless I cross lines that are specifically defined at the moment I first accept it.</blockquote>
