One of the requirements of the OGL is that Open Game Content be clearly identified: "8. Identification: If you distribute Open Game Content You must clearly indicate which portions of the work that you are distributing are Open Game Content." From what you've described, it doesn't sound like he's in compliance with the OGL. Though his product appears to be a preview rather than an official release, he's selling it for $5. I think once you reach a point where you are selling an OGL/D20 product, it should be in compliance with the license.
