I understand the concept of the OGL vs D20, but what I don't understand is 
the future of the OGL.  To quote Maggie Vining:

"The Open Gaming License is a license that requires open content to remain 
open regardless of who uses it or modifies it. The d20 license requires that 
its users adhere to certain rules if (and only if) they want to place the 
d20 logo on their products. The System Reference Document is a set of game 
rules that have been released under the OGL."

That makes sense.  However, the only SRDs I have seen thus far have been 
released by Wizards of the Coast (very sloowwwlly).

Doesn't this mean that SRDs will ALWAYS be linked to Wizards of the Coast?

If this is true, won't all SRDs specifically avoid content found in the DMG 
and PHB, in order to keep in "D20" compatible?  In other words, Wizards 
would never release an SRD defining character creation.

Will the OGF ever release an SRD defining character creation?  Using such an 
SRD means that I cannot put the "D20" logo on my product, but that is not 
the point.

I guess it comes down to this:  does the OGF have any SRDs that does not 
come from Wizards, and if not then will it in the future?
