I've noted elsewhere that the only practical way to get people to use OGL 2.0 would be to create a new type of content called "shared content" or something similar, that is exactly like OGC but has additional licensing restrictions. If WotC released it's 3.5 materials under OGL 2.0 as "shared content", then the viral nature of the license would cause OGL 2.0 to spread (and you couldn't use OGL 1.0 since it wouldn't give rights to "shared content"). Even this is somewhat ugly in that people would now have to separate out "shared content" from "open content" which would be a severe nuisance. So, the end result, is that changes to the OGL would only be put into use on a purely voluntary basis to clarify misunderstandings and to avoid lawsuits via increased clarity. People can be forced to use an updated d20 STL but not an updated OGL.
Have you considered that a version of the d20 license could say "At least 5% of your product must be licensed with the OGL 2.0"? Bang, instant spread of some future OGL 2.0 license.
