I still do not see the difference between OGC, D20, and another game system
or game type.  You admit you buy certain D20 products even if the OGC isn't
there, but...

It doesn't make much sense.

Don't forget my other paragraph.  If a game _doesn't have_ an Open
segment--like GURPS or Storyteller--then OGC has no bearing on my
purchase of it.  Same thing for the rare Wizards of the Coast book.

When it comes to d20 and SRD books, I _only_ buy products for reuse
value.  Wizards is an exception, and even then as often as not I've
spent my $40 on some other book rather than the latest WotC book.
