I think that the paranoia is starting to kick in. Yes, it would be possible for someone to put the 'Open Gaming' logo on a site that consists entirely of closed information.. (With the exception of the logo itself which will need to have the license attached in order to be used). But Why would they? And even if they did, what would the consequences be? The logo doesn't currently have even close to the weight or advertizing potential that the D20 logo does, and any site that puts that block up is just setting itself up to be ridiculed for false advertizing and a whole lot of legal fees as people start re-using the closed information on the site that they 'just naturally assumed was open due to the logo'. In order to properly cover their buts the company will actually have to put up a notice that says: "Everything on this site except for the open gaming logo is closed content" and really, how ridiculous would that look ;-)
Of course there are always agents of the Dark one just waiting for open content to come out unprotected that can be used and converted to evil.

Although simply releasing those images with the OGL would definetely be "nice" -- I would like to caution against that. As once OGLed, they can be used for anything. Including being placed on a website that promotes only completely closed products.
It would be great if atlas-games would release it with text stating -- "These logos may only be used in conjunction with products released under the OGL." or some such.
This type of logo & license is one of the projects of the Free20 Group.
