Hypothetically, would WotC consider this legal definition and granting
limited use of "goodie" to allow third-party publishers to use, say
"Mordenkainen," in the named spell?

Of course, it is a moot point since the SRD is declared 100% OGC. But
hypothetically...

Will other third-party d20 publisher follow AEG's initiative if this term
makes it into their final released Covered Product (Rokugan d20)?
