Subject: RE: [Open_Gaming] Final Text of Approved Open Gaming License
<< WRONG! The writing is just a written expression of the
terms of the license. If the grantor of the license
retains the power to revoke (which is inherent in any
license except those coupled with an interest or those
in which the license itself limits that power) they
can revoke be revoked at will. The fact that the
license was reduced to a writing doesnt mean you can
go around waiving the old license and using it. If it
is revoked, it is revoked. Your "new document"
argument is not legally valid. >>
Even if the document itself says that it remains valid even if a new version
is issued? I thought that was pretty clear that compliance with any
published version was sufficient to receive the rights granted by the
license. I don't understand. A new document in this case explicitly would
not revoke the rights granted by the old document. Rights can only be
revoked for non-compliance, else what good is the whole license anyway?
What am I missing here? It sounds like you're saying that anything released
as Open under this license can be rendered Closed at will. That will send
the conspiracy crowd screaming, if I'm interpreting you correctly.
