They're explicitly excluded from OGL licensing, meaning you can't even make OGL game supplements using them.

1) I've read the OGL. In fact, I had a copy at arms' length as I wrote the post. (My printout of NPC Essentials happens to be with my printouts of Dungeon Fantasy.) There is not only no such prohibition in there about making non-OGL games, section 8 clearly states that you need to designate which is closed content and which is open in the work in question, thus indicating that you can use OGL content to make closed content, which in fact happens constantly in any number of d20 products, like the one in which the license to which I referred is. My copy of Toolbox, the next such product I grab, has a similar listing at the end. I'm not a lawyer, just the son of one who took press law in journalism school, so I'd appreciate a clarification from one, but I can't find anything resembling the prohibition you cite above.

2) I said nothing about those monsters, deliberately.
