IANAL, and don't pretend to be... But

WoTC owns the SRD, and doesn't have to use the licenses to publish it.

WoTC can contact the authors of derivative works and offer to publish them
in d20 Dragon.  Then WoTC grants them a mini-license to use the SRD content,
outside of the OGL, sole for use in publishing in the d20 Dragon.  Thus the
material used in the Article, is now derivative of the SRD, but not via the
OGL -- so it doesn't need to be "re-released under the OGL."

Or do I have everything  backwards again?
