There seems to be language in OGL 1.1 that is trying to retroactively nullify OGL 1.0. So anyone trying to make something new related to DnD, where they would need to agree to OGL 1.1, would essentially reapply 1.1 to everything they have already made. At least that's how some people have tried to describe the situation to me.
I don't see that being remotely enforceable or even a strong argument were something brought to court, but I think WOTC (really Hasbro ) is using the threat of litigation to limit the ability for creators to continue to make new things that identify themselves explicitly as DnD. WOTC is basically betting that the rpg market is really a DnD market, captive to the brand, which will probably backfire on them.
