Question posed: If I am building a 3rd Party product for D&D 5E, can I use PF's PRD OGL & D&D's 5E SRD OGL content together?
Description: I'm wanting to design my very own campaign setting, but want to use OGL content as the "Foundation" and build upon that. If I'm happy with the design I might wanna publish it on DriveThruRPG, and maybe in the future make a video game based on the campaign setting. I read an article by "AngryGM": https://theangrygm.com/save-vs-lawsuit-how-to-publish-dd-content/ where he talks about publishing 3rd Party content for D&D, and it mentions using both Pathfinder's OGL and Dungeons & Dragons' OGL in the same product, is this allowed? I'd basically be converting PF 1E & PF 2E content into D&D 5E content, or is that not how you're supposed to do that?
"Can I legally do this thing involving content licenses" isn't really a 'discussion', especially not one that should be had with random people on the internet. You've better off reading through the terms Wizard of the Coast's System Reference Document, the nature of the Open Gaming License, and consulting a distribution platform such as Drive Thru RPG or the DMs Guild.

Thanks for the heads up, I never thought to just ask DriveThruRPG...
