I'm aware of that and fully support it. I was responded (above) to what I
believed was someone expressing the notion that the FOUNDATION could just
"change licenses" and therefore all the open content would automatically be
covered under the NEW license.
I have heard this (absolutely false) notion expressed offlist by folks who
were also under the impression (based on reading the website) that the OGF
and the OGL were mutually managed, and that WotC was not involved in either
(also based on reading the website).
This is the crux and the only substance of my complaint. Whether you intend
to deceive or not - people ARE being deceived. And the fact that you seem
to care to do nothing about it means (de facto) that you have intent.
