Oww! my aching head!!!
Seriously though, WOTC cannot be in violation of the OGL, be cause they
are the one releasing the SRD. Anything they release is released, and
open forever, period.
Now I could see this if some other company did this, but WOTC is the
company authorized (i.e. it is their property being released). Therefore,
it is out there forever....
