IOW, you can use the stats for Orcs from the SRDIf you want to use the d20 System Trademark License, then alternately you can refer to the Monster Manual as "MM" for the Orc's stats.Yes.That's up to you. If the new stats is to reflect your version of a minotaur in your game setting, then leave the name as is. If you prefer to give it a unique name which can add flavor to your game, you can do that as well and decide if you wish to keep that to yourself as Product Identity.Again, that's up to you. If you want, you can research all the current d20 products for names that are designated PI and avoid them so as not to create legal confusion.Well, this is what you CANNOT do with OGL:1. Use someone else's Product Identity without permission.2. Use someone else's trademarks without permission.3. Refer to other d20 products without permission.4. Claim compatability with other d20 products without permission.What you CAN do with OGL:1. Re-use OGC2. Modify OGC3. Contribute your own as OGC4. Designate PI so no one can use it, especially when it is part of your own OGC contribution (see #3; like named spells for example, that's why Wizards remove Mordenkainen from his named spells).The d20 System Trademark License provides additional restrictions which is located in the Trademark Guide.</blockquote>
