Which ones? As far as I know, no existing Open Source licenses,
without modification, can be used to license a SRD derivative work.
The existing Open Source licenses may pass on the rights but they
do not pass on the restrictions found in the OGL.
You would probably have to license derivative software under the OGL.
But then your work would not be compatible with GPL'd software.
Specifically, if someone released an engine (that doesn't derive
from the SRD) under the GPL and someone else released a SRD plug-in
under the OGL then they would be incompatible.

Of course, the engine authors could specifically allow their software
to be linked with OGL'd plug-ins.
