Please note that I did take into account that there are other systems using the OGL, and that I was excluding them from my comments. Also, I have absolutely no idea what the situation would be if you were doing something for Action! with the OGL and wanted to use something declared by another company as PI (using the OGL for the d20 system), but my gut instinct says no, because both use the OGL, and thus both would be bound by it, no matter that you are using different system ref docs.
