"Open Game Content" means the game mechanic and includes the methods, procedures, processes and routines to the extent such content does not embody the Product Identity and is an enhancement over the prior art and any additional content clearly identified as Open Game Content by the Contributor, and means any work covered by this License, including translations and derivative works under copyright law, but specifically excludes Product Identity. So you could basically program a D&D game and as long as you don't your Product Identity, you're able to distribute it as such. Though the D20 System License is intended for use with rulebooks, its wording is such that it can apply to anything that uses the basic mechanics.

If you make a game, you can't use anything that is in the books but not in the SRD. Yaun-ti, illithids, beholders, and so on.
