Hmmm... I'm not so sure.
6.1 says that if they have "previously published a product under the
OGL" then they "may publish a Licensed Product" "that features the same or similar title, product line trademark, or contents as such
OGL Product."
Since CompanyBob published the open content from CompanyKen in "Castle Deathskull" under the
OGL, the
GSL says CompanyBob can now publish that same content under the
GSL. It doesn't specify that only original content can be converted, it says that "the same" content can be converted.
So they seem to intend that
OGL open content should travel freely to a
GSL product in the same way it would to another
OGL product (although it's a one way trip). Now I don't know if that actually
works legally, but that sure looks like what it
says.
