I've stated this problem in other forums, but I'm going to raise it here
specifically, as well:
The lack of a means to identify your product as an OGL product greatly
undermines the usefulness of the OGL. It remains a legitimately useful
tool for largely skipping the need to design a new system -- but with no
way to communicate the fact that you have used the D20 system to your
customer base, the commercial applications of the OGL become highly
questionable.
Now if WotC is unwilling to provide such a trademark at this time (and
they apparently are), I say we step in at this early juncture and do so
ourselves (developing a market standard). Any thoughts on what could be
used to easily identify OGL product to the marketplace? (Once a
trademark was developed, someone would need to register it and then
place it under an open license.)
