The SRD (and the OGL) differs from other D&D initiatives like the DM’s Guild in that it is largely meant to allow publishers to create things that lie outside of Wizards of the Coast’s published settings and that they intend to publish on their own. While the SRD lacks some of the content that the actual systems contain, it is still a full reference to the 5th edition of D&D with a single purpose - to help publishers create their own original content, be it game supplements or full games, that is compatible with the world’s most well-known tabletop roleplaying game. Back in January when Wizards of the Coast backed off of Open Gaming License (OGL) updates to go with their new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, they also made a second decision that - while popular - hadn’t seen as much fanfare as of yet: they released the current D&D rules as a System Reference Document, or SRD under a Creative Commons license.
