VICTORY! D&D WON'T CHANGE ITS OGL!

[DerVVulfman]

Whatever one thinks, here's a breakdown. The creative commons license cannot be nullified by Hasbro. If you were to write code and then put it under Creative Commons with established rules, that's it. You can make something new and have a new license for that product, but what you established and covered under CC... it is done.

You can design content using 5th edition rules
You can publish your own original campaign using 5th edition rules
Hell, you can even print and sell your own 5th edition based content

Given the OGL has been around for decades, this would apply to editions earlier. However, how many are playing original Advanced D&D or ... even has copies of "Basic Dungeons and Dragons" (besides me)? I got so many boxes n shelves full....

However, the creative commons license doesn't cover specific settings still owned and separated away like "Forgotten Realms". Or *cough* free distribution of the upcoming "Dungeons & Dragons" movie with Chris Pine.
