>It also will not include the license back provision that some people were afraid was a means for us to steal work. That thought never crossed our minds. Under any new OGL, you will own the content you create. We won’t. Any language we put down will be crystal clear and unequivocal on that point. The license back language was intended to protect us and our partners from creators who incorrectly allege that we steal their work simply because of coincidental similarities.

It seems like a lot of people were misunderstanding the terms of the license due to people not being familiar with them. It could have been better when asking for feedback if they had annotated it with more clear reasoning as the intended audience are not lawyers.
