I don't think he asked about d20, just the OGL.
If he wanted to use the d20 trademarks for his game, he'd have to get some
agreement with WotC... I wouldn't trust the D20STL to use it, and, IIRC, the
current version prohibits that.
Of course, looking at the d20 guide, the definition of character creation is
the "description", not the rules. So you might be able to argue that
inference and automatic creation don't violate it...
I think I'll just wait for Ryan's answer. :)
