Have Dragon or Dungeon published any OGL material? I only occassionally
pick up Dragon, but I haven't seen any OGL stuff in there. Never get
Dungeon. Remember WotC can publish all kinds of D&D material without
having to bother with the OGL. I sort of assumed that was one of the
reasons for a D20 magazine - to provide an outlet for material which would
fall under the OGL (and most likely D20STL, altho technically WotC could
use the logo on the magazine without following the D20STL just like they
have done with the core books & SW. The license is for permitting others
to also use the logo). Dragon & Dungeon would continue to publish D&D
material as normal. There's no reason they'd ever need to publish OGL
material in either Dragon or Dungeon.
