This is not permitted under the terms of the OGL.

It's indicating compatibility and/or coadaptabilty with our trademarks, and
when we release the SRD, we'll probably note that our trademarks are Product
Identity to help ease this kind of confusion.

This is a violation of the OGL, because you're adding a term which modifies
the rights applicable to Open Game Content.  Rather, you should put this
line in "Section 15: Copyright" statement of the license, and by the terms
of the license, it will be carried forward by anyone who uses this material.
