Trademarks can be legally used without permission under certain
circumstances.  You must admit that your amendment overrides these
circumstances.  Let the law do its job.

I don't mind a prohibition on using other people's trademarks in
marketing/advertising because that is directly relevant to the extensive
amount of work WotC is contributing to the OGL (since WotC is the most
likely entity to suffer from trademark abuse involving the d20 SRD).
