Actually, releasing content as OGC doesnt restrict your rights as to your original, non-SRD derived content at all. It just licenses your content to others. You still own the stuff and can do whatever the hell you want with it (the non-SRD derived stuff). As a practical matter, it makes your ownership less important since anyone can use your content you released as OGC as long as they follow the OGL. But there may come a day when someone makes a new game and wants to use your material. Lets say you create a setting and release it as OGC with d20 stats for all the rulers and monsters and stuff. Lets say 10 years from now Chaosium wants to republish Runequest but they are tired of Glorantha and they want your setting to be the new setting for Runequest. You can license it to them. You didnt lose the rights. Of course, if Chaosium wanted to do Runequest d20 they wouldnt need your permission since they could use the OGC you designated. But if they dont want to use the license they have to go to you to get a license for the content.
