I think you're right about this largely being about digital platforms. But we really shouldn't let them divide and conquer us piecemeal like that. You might be willing to trade away the rights of anyone making a VTT, but they certainly wouldn't. They, on the other hand, might be willing to trade away something that's important to you in exchange for some other concession that's important to them.So I agree with those saying 1.0 is a lost cause. They need it gone to take back control over digital content, the core of their development strategy under current leadership. I don't see any outcome that doesn't end with 1.0a "de-authorized." The best case scenario (at least until there is a challenge in court, if any) is that 1.x will offer functionally the same terms as 1.0a, but only for print and "static media", with options for VTT producers limited under their VTT policy.
This is the basic reality of collective bargaining. I think solidarity is a strategic imperative here. And our only real common goal is for OGL 1.0a to stay.
