I play various d20 games, some of which draw upon the d20 SRD, some of which draw upon the (superior, IMO) d20 Modern SRD. Also OGL and non-d20. And a good deal of cross-d20 hybrid.
I have no problem with using D&D books, or with players using D&D books when I GM. However, I wouldn't call what I play any version of D&D, since none of the core assumptions are present and more than 50% of the rules derive from other sources (d20 Modern, Spycraft, OGL Conan, Iron Heroes, Arcana Unearthed, Blue Rose, etc.)
The only way I'm likely to play anything approaching actual D&D is if I get a Spelljammer campaign together.
