What Dungeons & Dragons content has been released under a CC license?
  • Wizards of the Coast recently announced [via DnDBeyond](https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1439-ogl-1-0a-creative-commons) 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 apparantly contains that 5.1 SRD, under the [CC BY 4.0 license](https://rpg.codidact.com/help/licenses).

  • - the name and descriptions of 5e spells?
  • - names of characters such as Strahd von Zarovitch 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?
