That would be just hunky dory, at least to me.   If you trademark
"Dunandralis" the OGL would REQUIRE a second license to use it.   Sort of
like, gee, the D20SRD does.  If you want to use the D20 System logo and
trademark there are some things you can't do or change.

Glad to have help you think out your license needs...
