Reading through my copy, and found the Tsukumogami Poppet heritage. I believe poppets are licensed under OGL, but this heritage is ORC. I wish there was a Player Core 3 that updated all the OGL material to ORC Licensed material.

Since Rage of Elements already was made under the ORC license, I'd heavily doubt that the next hardcover out will still be under OGL, even if it is in the partner line of setting books.

According to the comments in Rage of Elements, it was released under the OGL, but the rules are compatible with the Remaster. The intention was to make it ORC, but the ORC License took too long to come out.

I would be shocked if they are going to update or fully errata any old books to be publishable under the ORC license instead of the OGL. The amount of work necessary to go through it page by page and evaluate if every name, creature, spell, or idea referenced or implied is fully a remastered, Paizo property, or tied to an OGL concept that would violate the ORC license is a monumental task that would involve having to have many, very expensive sets of eyes comb the text, and for what? Paizo can continue to print and sell past products that are already published under the OGL license. The first ORC AP has only just now been released, and 7 dooms is an OGL product. 7 dooms will never be officially updated to fit under an ORC license, nor will old setting or rules books.

They might get minor errata to help players use that content with the core rule books, but that is still a lot more work for Paizo than it is for the community around PF2 to just post examples and questions on these message boards and maybe eventually let that drive an errata FAQ.

I agree with your assessment. However, I switched to Pathfinder from D&D specifically for the ORC License, and have made the decision NOT to buy any OGL content. I would love to buy Rage of Elements and Book of the Dead, but won't because of their OGL license.
