Um, Clark, I don't think that's necessarily true.

Justin said "If DRAGON were to publish OGL content they would need to
include the open gaming license, and clearly mark what material was open."

For an article I submitted, if it was derived solely from the SRD, AND it
was *my* article AND *I* gave them permission to publish it, then they
wouldn't need to use the OGL.  If ANY of those conditions weren't true then
they would need to use the OGL just like everybody else.
