This may affect your point. From the D20 STL:
The document known as the D20 System Reference Document v0.0 contains a
section titled "Restricted Terms and Definitions". You may not use any term
described in that section in any way other than as described in that section
in a Publication covered by this License.
It's entirely possible that the Restricted Terms and Definitions would limit
how a product could be related to a non-d20 set of rules.
