The issue is that part of the 1.0 license says users "may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed under any version of this License" (emphasis added).
And part of 1.1 says that 1.0 "is no longer an authorized license agreement".
So, in other words, 1.0 had an embedded kill switch which 1.1 activates. At least that's the legal theory which WotC is operating on.
- 93po 4y agoI have no law experience but I feel like no longer recognizing a previous license you created doesn't force an upgrade to a new license, but rather would invalidate any licensing at all on all content that had the old license.
