wotcthrrrrowon An Update on the Open Game License (OGL)

That would be alarming if true, but it's a bit hard to trust the authenticity of the leak here.

Sure, but "not being explicit" is very different than the way OP phrased it ("WoTC says in this post") -- it made me think I'd missed some explicit mention of it.

FWIW, I don't even believe they ever wanted to try to claw back e.g. the 3.5 SRD, so I'm not as concerned as other folk here. (But it's also clear that if they have no such intent, they'd need to make it legally binding for folk to trust them.)

I don't see that mentioned anywhere in this post?

It even explicitly states "Content already released under 1.0a will also remain unaffected."

(though ideally they'd, you know, make that legally binding.)
