After facing down a potential mass exodus of players and revitalizing the pathfinder community, yeah, no wonder they're attempting to improve their reputation.
I'm glad they're sticking with the damage control, but that's what this is: damage control
Regardless of motivation, spending the money to translate the 5.1 SRD into four languages and then putting it out into the CC opens up a lot of expansion of 5e into other countries and people who never would otherwise play. And it does so regardless of what WOTC does in the future. It’s prudent that we don’t trust WOrC. With this out there, we don’t have to trust them.
