This is true.

To the OP:
Gaming Ballistic has a license to publish Dungeon Fantasy RPG books, which is 90% to 99.44% GURPS-compatible, so you may want to contact them if you can work this into that genre. But only trusted third-party publishers with specific licenses issued by SJG are able to publish GURPS and DFRPG books - and there aren't many of those. (The only other licensee I'm aware of is Amarillo Design, who handle Prime Directive, an official Star Fleet Battles conversion.)




(IMO, the sheer amount of poorly written, poorly edited (if at all), and utter crap put out by small independent third-party publishers that did stuff in That Other Game under the OGL when it was first put out is argument enough to not have a "GURPS OGL". SJG has prided themselves on their reputation for quality for close to a quarter century (or more!) now; and a "GURPS OGL" could destroy that rep.)
