This only applies if you plan on using the D20STL. The OGL makes no such
restrictions. It is entirely possible to produce a product that is
completely compatible with the D20 system without using the D20 logo. I
don't know the legality of placing text stating that your product is
compatible with the D20 system, but I don't imagine that there would be
anything that could be legally done against you for going it.
I only used the example of "Bobo's Big Book of Fantasy Character
Creation(TM)" as an example of the flexibility of the OGL and to prove a
point that WotC doesn't necessarily have to profit from D20. Of course, I
want WotC to profit from the Open Gaming Community just like I want every
other company involved to profit so they are more inclined to contribute new
OGC.
