I would agree with this sentiment if the clause was going in
the D20STL, an agreement meant to be solely used between WotC
and D20 logo users.  But the clause is going in the OGL which
is meant to be a contract used by everyone to release open
content.  I suspect most other people would find it a burden 
rather than a benefit.  Even if someone creates a new levelless,
non-d20 game mechanic, they would be burdened with this clause
if they want to participate in open gaming.
