This article from a lawyer who also plays D&D explained things in a way I better understood: https://medium.com/@MyLawyerFriend/lets-take-a-minute-to-talk-about-d-d-s-open-gaming-license-ogl-581312d48e2f https://medium.com/@MyLawyerFriend/lets-take-a-minute-to-tal...

- knaik94 4y agoIt's not that clear cut. There is no lanuage about when a license can be revoked. That's not how the contracts of these types work. You can only argue that new people will not be able to use the old license. It's similar to the situation with an MIT license. Companies have come out and said they would take WotC over this if necessary.
