No, because it's not published by WotC. If Dragon referenced Kalamar, they would have to make it Open Game Content, and WotC will not permit that with their property.
I thought Kalamar was an "official" D&D product.
Aside from convincing people that they need WotC's permission to use the stuff in their Forgotten Realms campaigns, I figured that would mean that it didn't have to be Open Game.
..... sounds like a plot by hobgoblins to me ...
Zherog is completely right.
I never get tired of hearing (or seeing) that. :D

It's my understanding that any company can get that logo on their product simply by paying WotC enough money for the license. However, I believe Kalamar still must follow all the terms of the OGL and d20 License.

All I know of it is an ad I saw a while back for the Kalamar Player's Guide that said "because it's 100% official, I can use it in my Forgotten Realms campaign!"
As if that stamp was all that was lacking for a DM to say, "hey, let's use this stuff in Forgotten Realms." Better yet, I'd like to meet the player who said to his DM "See? It's 100% official, now you HAVE to let me use it."
In any case, I'd love to see more niche articles. If you can argue with a straight face that an entire issue dedicated to China Mieville is usable by anybody, then so should the occasional Spelljammer or Kalamar or Scarred Lands article.
