You can't use them in advertising/marketing a product without their permission (unless it's a totally unrelated kind of product - you could sell d20 dishwashers, for instance).What Wizards is saying with the OGL and the d20 license boils down to this: "You can use most of the rules in the core books but you can't use our trademarks unless you agree to tell people to buy the core books from us - and even then there are a few things you can't use, so that people will have an incentive to buy the core books. And we've given another company the exclusive rights to make computer games out of this stuff, so we're sorry, we can't let you do that, even if we want to."</blockquote>
