There is no "d20 license".
There is an Open Gaming License which describes in general how game rule
systems can be copied, modified and distributed using a copyleft provision.
There is a "D20 System Trademark License" which describes how to license the
use of the D20 System trademark and use it with our permission.
The D20 System Reference Document will be released to the public using the
Open Gaming License - that means that anything in that document can be
copied, modified and distributed per the terms of the OGL. Nothing in
either the D20 System Reference Document, or the Open Gaming License,
requires the use of the D20 System Trademark License.
You can copy, modify, and distribute materials based on the D20 System
Reference document before and after the D20 System Trademark license is
released and ignore it completely. You just can't >use< the D20 System
Trademark itself without the D20 System Trademark License.
