Actually no.
The d20 system is codified rules for supplement developement. But Open
Gaming is as open as you can get and still have any control over your
Product Identity.

I appreciate the explanation, Brad. It's not so much open gaming as it is a
codified set of development guidelines for supplement development (just an
observation, my opinion only of course).

No. Open Gaming is the brainchild of Ryan Dancey, VP for Wizards of the
Coast. He developed the concept and sold it to the rest of the Wizards
execs as a way to maximize the sales of their most profitable products while
still reaping the benefits of a rich and diverse product line.
