I think what it (section 6) is saying is you have to
use the copyright inforation from the product you use
as it is.

For example, lets say my "Dark Dungeons" has this
section 15:

OGL, [proper reference]
SRD, [proper reference]
Dark Dungeons (c) 2002 Necromancer Games Inc., author
Jack Chick.

If you use content from Dark Dungeons (and, frankly,
who wouldnt?) in your product "Really Dark Dungeons"
then your section 15 would be:

OGL [citation, because you have to list it, not
because I did]
SRD [citation, because you have to list it, not
because I did]
Dark Dungeons (c) 2002 Necromancer Games Inc., author
Jack Chick
Really Dark Dungeons (c) 2002 Cool Company, LLC,
author Monte Gygax

Note that you dont have to list the SRD and OGL
twice--in other words, you dont have to put it in
again just because it was in my section 15.

What you DO have to do is use my stuff correctly. For
example, if your section 15 included:

Dark Dungeons (c) 2002 Necromancer, written by Jack
Chick

you would be in violation of the OGL. I'm sure you see
why, but just in case I will explain: you would be in
violation because you didnt use the section 15 notice
exactly as I did it (even though you are saying the
same thing).
