Can't do this with D20 license.

Can't do this with D20 license.  Doesn't matter what you call it.

Sure.

It means that if you publish a system that looks like advancement,
sounds like advancement, and works like advancement, you violate the d20
license and you'll be told to stop.

Furthermore, if you figure out a clever way to get around the specific
wording of the license, WotC can just change the license to stop you.

On the other hand, if you come up with as system that doesn't use
levels, doesn't use classes, and doesn't use advancement, WotC probably
won't do anything about it.

The obvious example is a game with pre-generated PCs who never advance.

Correct.
