It's been a hot minute since this was last brought up, so I wanted to ask if there has been any news about the older edition SRDs being released under Creative Commons. Back in 2023, WotC mentioned looking into the 3e/3.5e SRDs and also needing to review the 4e/GSL situation. The last answer I remember seeing was basically that there was no update yet, but that it was still something being looked at.
Has anything changed since then? Any official word on whether the material is still planned for CC release?
Haven't heard anything, and i am one of those that have been waiting around for them. Kinda think it will be a while since they seem to have other priorities and releases, and they keep "condensing" their workforce, so there aren't as many to work on it.

I know I say this every time it's brought up, but we haven't forgotten about this. I can't speak to the timeline, but this is still on our list.
Somewhat related, could we get an update to other Community endeavors? The internal content policy being public wasn't updated. Some of the recent blogs from Beyond and D&D Game leadership may be relevant to this page
