Hurray! Wizards of the Coast has released a portion of 5E content into the Open Game License (“OGL”)! This is wonderful news for the 5E ecosystem. Read on for more.
Where is it? Here’s the link to Wizard’s website. Caution, Wizard’s has a habit of breaking links over time, so I apologize in advance if they break the link. Wizard’s even has a nice chart of what you can and can’t do with the OGL.
