So it seems that WotC with their response to the widespread criticism 
about their license changes released a lot of things under a Creative 
Commons license, and now with the release of SRD 5.2 they are trying to 
get some parts of it back. (specifically they are trying to refresh 
trademarks for the Deck of Many Things and the Orb of Dragonkind, which 
mind you, still are in the SRD, but renamed to Mysterious Deck and 
Dragon Orb)

I wonder how that all will shake out for them.
