I won't jump your case...

*grin*

...BUT the OGL has NOTHING to do with the D20L.  Let me repeat
this...NOTHING.  The d20 DOES require you to contain a minimum OGC within
your book and WotC has released _portions_ of the SRD as OGC.  OGL has
NOTHING to do with D20 though.  In fact it allows you to make a completely
NEW, yet compatible game to say...D&D WITHOUT stamping it D20.

Example:

Steve Jackson Games releases GURPS under OGL.  Is has NOTHING to do with
D20, but it is OGC.  Anyone could then make a GURPS compatible book (thought
the GURPS trademark/logo could not be used.  So what of all these products
that WILL be or those products that are compatible with but NOT D20?  They
are OGL and nothing else.

That is what I am talking about.

Would we stand behind an open gaming logo? I suppose we would, but is it
really necessary? My point being is that we already have the d20 logo so
what makes an OGL logo any different? It seems to just muddy the waters and
dilute an already diluted market. However, if there was a standard set up
that set d20 content apart from OGL content I'd think you'd have a better
sell. That is why I suggested the mandatory 25% open gaming content to use
the logo. Now the logo stands for something. That has value to us. Another
logo that means the same thing as d20 honestly doesn't. Maybe I'm not
getting you here and if I'm not pardon please pardon my ignorance.
