There's no revoking the OGL either. That didn't stop them from trying.

the writing of the ogl was a little loose with that which allowed them to try. orc was made to fix that.

Source? That was not my understanding of the OGL. It guaranteed a perpetual license to users, and there is no legal precedence for such a revocation. That didn't stop them from trying to bully everybody into submission. What reason is there to think any other license would make a difference? It's not about the chances of them winning, it's about the legal trouble and bills they can cause. I'm not sure why anybody would trust hasbro / wotc after that fuckup, regardless of their promises.

@wahming @HubertManne
The ogl and orc use unintelligible language, and have little legal precedent for rulings.

CC licences have neither problem.
