Always a difficult discussion because a lot of terms are used in multiple ways. D&D 3E is often referred to as the d20 system, for example. However, a game isn't technically a d20 game unless it uses the d20 license. Several games use the "d20 system" without the "d20 license" because they go through the OGL (Arcana Unearthed for example).
Also, the OGL is specific. Some games have open variations that technically don't use the OGL.
I do know Runequest, for example has a "Logo License" and SRD and uses the WotC OGL, but I believe other systems out there have their own variation of the OGL.

Well, there is a difference between d20 System and d20-based (anybody in this hobby can tell the differences between D&D and Palladium Fantasy with their eyes closedGlyfair said:
), just as there is a difference between d6 System and d6-based rules.Action! System had a draft of their open source license, but was convinced that the OGL is just the generic content license they need. The only thing they released is their own A!S trademark license.Glyfair said:

However, it's not always easy to tell what the person making the reference is trying to discuss. If someone asks "What d20 game should I look at?" should I recommend Arcana Unearthed? If someone asks "What OGL game system products are worthwhile" should I recommend Mongoose Runequest products? Some are only concerned with things like Mutants & Masterminds and Arcana Unearthed, while others are thinking they are excluding them.
