Dear Damian and members of the list, Please note that the inclusion of the Open Game License on page 17 of "Dragon Presents d20 system Special" was not intended to serve as the copyright for materials within the magazine. That claim is made on page 6 in the legal indicia that is always present in our publications: "No part of this magazine may be reproduced (except for review purposes) without the prior written permission of the publisher." We printed the Open Game License to provide a template for readers who have not yet downloaded this document or the System Reference Document.
Damian had looked at the material presented on page 17 and suggested that since we had not claimed specific copyright in Section 15 for the material in the magazine, we had not protected (for example) Wolfgang Bauer's "Black Riders and Bone Horses" article. If we were publishing a book of articles with no other copyright claim than the OGL, he would be correct. Since we make the copyright claim on the entire magazine, his question is moot. We apologize for not specifically stating on page 17 that we were presenting the Open Game License TEMPLATE for the sake of reference. In retrospect, I can see that it is not clear. We had wanted it to provide reference for the article which follows: "What the heck is a d20 system?" I hope this belated explanation clarifies the situation.
