Pinotage said:Didn't the OGL come after the release of the 3e system, though?
To expand on what Hong said. Technically the OGL came out a few months after 3E was released. That was the official OGL though. The concept of the OGL was well established long before 3E was released and 3rd party publishers worked under a gentlemen's agreement to use the draft versions with the understanding that future products must comply with the final version once it was done. This is how S&S got their monster book out before the Monster Manual was released.
