If you want to limit d20 to ONLY those things under the d20 Trademark License, then the money's on GURPS. But if you settle on all OGL items using all or part of all Open Game Content out there, then "d20" is going to win that definition, because the only rule to follow is:d20 + MODS vs. Target Number. All other rules are just molding and shaping, not intrinsic to the frame. I could make a classless, levelless skill-based game using d20 + MODS vs. Target Number, and it would be OGL. I've often considered doing this exact thing to make a Shadowrun Clone game for publication, because I and a lot of other people love the shadowrun setting but hate the d6 dice pool mechanic; to do so would likely venture so close to FASA's license that I'd have to put my money where my mouth is to defend it, and I'm not ready to do that.</blockquote>
