You have to ditch Squidgeworld totally and start all over, and you have to destroy all existing stock as well.
A nitpick, but it says nothing about any other rules system. It denies further use of the OGL for that product, but not EVERY other rules system uses the OGL. Again I know it's a nitpick, but it's inacurate to say it the way you did.

Also I know that the license can be updated to include other licenses on the "banned list" for a future version, but that's technically another issue.
