OGL - Mixing Versions

We know that the 4E fighter is going to be based on the Martial Adept and it is a reasonable guess that 4E will have Swift Actions as part of the base system.

Unknown until WotC gets around to releasing the 4E SRD and OGL (if different). Presumably it could be done with anything in the 4E SRD. However, they could have a 4E OGL (or an OGL called something other than the OGL) that is more restrictive. I think that's a long shot, though.

Do note that Swift and Immediate actions are part of the current SRD (they're under the Psionics portion somewhere), if those are what you might be looking for.
