So basically this also explains your positition on the novels. You
don't think the >logo< should be used on non-game products. So if people
want the stats to characters in Lizard's books then Lizard will either have
to publish them seperately in a supplement or get Dragon to publish them as
"Giants in the Earth". Is that about it?

Nobody is saying that they can't use the OGL content in those products. The
issue is one of the utility value of the >logo< to the customer. If a
customer sees the D20 logo on a product, they should expect that product to
be a >game< product filled with material compatible with the game engine
they regularly use.
Putting D20 conversion notes in a product is a good idea from the standpoint
of that publisher's business, because it expands the number of people who
might get some utility out of that content. But it degrades the total value
of the D20 logo, because it trains people to be suspicious about just how
much value they're really going to get from their purchase.
