The sale of D&D Beyond to Fandom doesn't extinguish the license that Twitch had to that content, since it was an unrevocable, in perpetuity license (see below). The wrinkle is that the original Twitch/WotC license also still exists for anything that was uploaded before the sale in December 2018. (Although you can't restrict what others do with CC licensed content, you still hold the copyright on it and are never yourself restricted by the CC license as to what you can do with your own copyrighted material.) It means you don't control the content anymore in terms of restricting what others can do with it, and others can use or remix what you upload to D&D Beyond so long as they credit you. It's basically open-sourcing any contributions. (I had a moment of doubt because the license says вЂњwikiвЂќ and that doesn't exactly describe the user-submitted portion of D&D Beyond, but it the only license Fandom has that covers user-submitted content at all, so that's as good as it gets.) That means that anyone (WotC included) can freely use anything uploaded to D&D Beyond, including in commercial and derivative works, so long as they 1) give due attribution to the creator, 2) allow the same freely-reusable license for whatever derivative work they create directly based on the user-created content taken from D&D Beyond.Д«asically, WotC could put your class, monster, or whatever in one of their books, but they'd have to treat it similar to OGL material and give credit and relicense it to the reader to use in the same way. The original Twitch/WotC license situation is detailed below (spoilers: it's slipshod and accidentally overreaches in an alarming way), but Fandom's licensing situation is much simpler:Д®verything put up on D&D Beyond is covered by Fandom's general license, making uploaded content licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0. Since the sale of D&D Beyond by Twitch to, the licensing situation has changed (or more accurately, been added to).

User content on D&D Beyond is open source I was wondering whether there has been announcements on what kind of license is granted to WOTC when you upload homebrew content to D&D Beyond, is it similar to DM's Guild? The Terms of Service link at the bottom of the page links to Twitch's TOS, which don't mention D&D Beyond. That said, if your work merits incorporation into canon, Wizards willД¬ontact you about purchasing your IP outright.ДЄlthough they don't really specify what 'a license to use your IP' means, I haven't been able to find any information on how licensing works for D&D Beyond.

I remember when DM's Guild first came out there were some concerns regarding the licensing terms you agree to when uploading homebrew content.
