Do they have to have OGL content that I am actually using? Or is it sufficient
that they merely have some sort of OGL content which is extant? What if I
produce something which uses product identity belonging to someone who has not
yet produced OGC, but does so after I have published (but continue to sell) my
product?

So you're telling me that I can use product identity, so long as the use of the
product identity is unconnected to the OGC? I can't get that reading out of the
OGL. What constitutes a "connection"?
