Firstly, please excuse my possible misunderstanding of the OGL fine print.
Secondly, please excuse my lack of knowledge regarding 5E aside from info on this site and others.
Now let's say Wizards produces 5e which from how it initially seems is going to have many of the standard D&D concepts (Ability Scores, Hit Points and so on) covered by the OGL. Does this mean that a third party publisher can stretch and adapt the OGL to cover pretty much any 5E wizards comes up with to produce supplements, material or perhaps even an effective "reprinting" of the new rules?
If the answer is a "yes" (and as I said, I don't know enough to answer that), does this possibly mean that Wizards knowing this are going to be best to produce a more open license than the GSL and the debacle it caused? Is the horse out of the gate regardless of what WotC do? What could WotC do to shut such efforts down?
Best Regards
