Actually, this is legal regardless of the OGL and D20STL.
There is a fairly direct case precedent of "Allen v. Academic Games".
There a company (Academic Games) ran tournaments using games copyright
by Robert Allen, selling players copies of the games and adding on
tournament rules. In fact, their tournament rules books even included
some of copyrighted rules in question. Still, the court found
against Robert Allen's suit for copyright infringement. You can
read the case results online at
