There is NOTHING in the OGL about 5% OGC for coverage.  That's the d20 STL.  And I said Mutants and Masterminds, which is not d20 STL-covered.

The extended promotional sample was in one or two magazines.  I thought Dragon (but I can't promise that).  It was probably in Game Trade magazine.

That preview link is what I remember.

Now, part of my point may be undermined if this wasn't in Dragon.  It wouldn't be undermined in principle if SOMETHING that was OGL-covered was printed in Dragon without an overt attempt to cover the entire magazine with the license (by WotC's logic that the inclusion of one OGL'd item in a bundle requires that the entire item be covered).

I may be wrong, but I think I've seen other OGL'd ad inserts before too, though I could be hallucinating that.  The promotional insert above was definitely in gaming magazines, however.
