Everyone's leaving now...Paizo Pathfinder and them...the Dungeons & Dragons Rule Books are now Open Source on Creative Commons that's 5e.
Pathfinder company and them now they all left and own the rest of the rules, Paizo Pathfinder says they sold 8 months books in 2 weeks...but that might be just some crowd funding stunt to jump start their market share now that the rules are creative commons.
That was recently, I don't know the dates on it.
The point....
Those are the rule books and monster books....the SRD 5.1 for 5th Edition.
Now they mean any version that says "race" in it is open source.
My point, now the Game Setting titles like mine Dragon Adventures is a Campaign Setting on 5E Open Source and I can now print the whole game.

The rule books and future adventure settings, then it's the stories and art for the adventures that are the new money.
I mean Hasbro still owns the adventure setting books like Dragonlance and Greyhawk....that is the money now, the story books and that.
Now my game Dragon Adventures runs it's adventure modules that's the copyright content on the updated creative commons rules version.
The rest of my additional rules I have also released on open source anyway.
Now with this done, all third party Dungeons & Dragons Official Book Publishers can just take the titles with them they made and sell their own books.
Hasbro can now make money off toys, shows, cartoons, movies etc. and Dungeons & Dragons copyrighted adventure titles, used on open source rules, in a new expanded marketing campaign where they are the bigger publisher in book stores for their fictional stories in their adventure modules like Dragonlance.
While new start ups focus on releasing their own game with SRD 5.1 Hasbro is way ahead and can expand into toy and show marketing for selling fictional book titles under Dungeons & Dragons featured in Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Modules while they are already in all mainstream book stores.
UPDATED: I flipped through the 400 page rule book, if it's not in this book you can still use the content under the old license by saying D20, that's the whole game.
Now if you're running some art business and you're smart you'd go through the SRD and start releasing free public domain pictures of the characters listed in the SRD and start letting people use them to make their own books, you can also use anything in that manual on your own products to sell so it's a good time to get started if you're working in RPG games.
