Lets look at the license. Does the license apply product by product or is it really one license between YOU and WOTC? The languange seems to indicate it could be interpreted as just one license. That means breach terminates. Lets look: 1. Definitions: ... (h) "You" or "Your" means the licensee in terms of this agreement. --note that the product is per person (or licensee) not per product 2. The License: This License applies to any Open Game Content that contains a notice indicating that the Open Game Content may only be Used under and in terms of this License. You must affix such a notice to any Open Game Content that you Use. No terms may be added to or subtracted from this License except as described by the License itself. No other terms or conditions may be applied to any Open Game Content distributed using this License. --this shows what it applies to, not necessarily that each use is a seperate license. It says what YOU must do when YOU USE the license. You USE the license each time you make a product, but that doesnt mean each is its own license. That is just multiple uses under one license. 3.Offer and Acceptance: By Using the Open Game Content You indicate Your acceptance of the terms of this License. --use it once, you accept it. 4. Grant and Consideration: In consideration for agreeing to use this License, the Contributors grant You a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license with the exact terms of this License to Use, the Open Game Content. --still speaking in terms of the singular. I am not saying this is a certain interpretation. I am just saying it is a possible interpretation, which frankly makes sense to me. If that is the case, then violation of the license runs the risk of meaning you cant ever play in the OGL sandbox again.
