Whelp, looks like I got my hands on a OGL 2.0 Faq that was leaked. (they're rebranding from away from 1.1 apparently)
#dnd #OpenDnD #dndogl FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW OPEN GAME LICENSE ( in it it appears they're trying to set up some changes and clarifications.

Whelp I went down a legal rabbit hole this morning, and I’ve been looking into what the US Patent and trademark office’s position on AI generated works,
