They would clearly be wrong. The OGL only requires you to identify material as OGC that is derivative of OGC. If the material in question is not a derivative of OGC, then the OGL does not have any power over it. This is a very settled question. There are games from many publishers, including WotC, that contain a mix of OGC and non-OGC rules (Monster Manual II, for example).
