The Open Gaming License is a copyleft-with-exclusions license (think  
GNU FDL) that predates CC. It's basically for Dungeons & Dragons, and  
a new edition of D&D is out soon. Hasbro, D&D's owners, are revising  
the license for this:

It doesn't look good, see the comments here:

I can't find a public draft or review process for the license. It will  
be a shame if Hasbro make the OGL more restrictive than it already is.
