What Dungeons & Dragons content has been released under a CC license?

+5
−1

Wizards of the Coast recently announced via D&D Beyond that they are releasing the "SRD 5.1" under a Creative Commons license. Within the announcement itself, they linked to a 403-page PDF that apparently contains that SRD version 5.1, under the CC BY 4.0 license.

Without having to look through several hundred pages of the PDF, what exactly is now under the Creative Commons license? Can I now use...

  • the names and descriptions of 5e spells?
  • names of characters such as Strahd von Zarovtch or Bruenor Battlehammer?
  • names of places such as Barovia or Toril?
  • an RPG class called "sorcerer" that has a feature called "metamagic" that allows the player to fiddle with the rules of magic?

What does the "SRD 5.1" contain, and what is now available under the CC BY 4.0 license?

This seems to be a lot of questions in one, most of which can be answered by reading a section of the document you refer to.
