Beware Dragon gifts or Possible D&D copyright change

[Bob Schroeck]

Looks like maybe WotC is trying their own end run around Hasbro -- it's placing the core rules of D&D "under the purview of Creative Commons". The phrasing is a little odd, and the article linked is kind of obscure, but a CBR.com article makes it clear they're going to replace OGL with a Creative Commons license.

Meanwhile, another article offers more details on the capitulation -- turns out it was the immediate financial hit from all the cancelled online subscriptions which prompted it. Hasbro saw an almost instant drop in its bottom line.
