While the question's been answered, the fact that you asked it suggests you may be confusing the SRD with the STL. The first is a reference document (that's what the RD stands for) which enumerates the rules that are explicitly open. The second is the legal agreement. While in the case of d20 the two were closely linked, there is no necessary connection between the two concepts; the mere existence of an SRD implies nothing about there being a separate license, since there's nothing stopping a non-d20 SRD from being released under the OGL or under something like Creative Commons.

Also, "criterion" is singular, "criteria" is plural. Not the other way around!
