Oh no! It's Boardwalks & Sorcery: A Roseville Beach SRD
I couldn't sleep, so I went ahead and took an initial swing at what I want to include in the Roseville Beach SRD, with the hope that Boardwalks & Sorcery will grow into a hacker's guide or game creation kit.

Open Game Notion Database
A new tool that blends your everyday work apps into one. It's the all-in-one workspace for you and your team
I've made some updates to the Notion database of open-license game texts. Since Hasbro/WotC has taken OGL reauthorization out of its immediate crosshairs (without making the OGL 1.0a irrevocable), I've added the legacy OGL 1.0a entries back. I've also differentiated between CC-BY and CC-BY-SA, and broken out "other" into Publisher-Controlled licenses (such as those for Mork Borg, Cypher, and BRP) from small and midsize publishers, and indie games that have some sort of brief, informal, or alternative license or "unlicense." Note that much like the OGL, publisher-controlled licenses may or may not be revocable.
I've not added any licenses or texts that aren't released yet, so no references to ORC, the CC-BY version of Basic Fantasy, or Matt Finch's S&W license. Yet. I also won't add licenses that are specific to individual sites, such as DTRPG's Community Content programs.
I've talked about my feelings about WotC's attempt to deauthorize the OGL 1.0a, but I don't want to leave the OGL out if it's not in immediate danger. However, I'll only add new or currently unlisted OGL texts (or compatibility licenses that depend on them) at my own discretion.

According to leaks reported last week, the company that owns Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is planning to revoke the open license that has, since the year 2000, applied to a wide range of unofficial, commercial products that build on the mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons. The report indicates that this wouldn’t simply be a change going forward, but would affect existing works that relied on the license. The old license would be revoked for existing uses, and people who have used on it will be forced to adopt new terms or renegotiate with the company, Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of game giant Hasbro.
Obviously, this would be a rude and unfair thing to do to people who have accepted the invitation of the open gaming license (OGL) to create new games and stories that build upon Dungeons and Dragons. But would it be legal? Even more interesting, would revoking the OGL actually give some third parties more freedom to operate, given that the OGL forced them to promise not to do some things that copyright and trademark law otherwise permit? Let’s find out.
