As my lawyer has explained it to me, and as I've had it explained by a number of d20 publishers, though, you still wouldn't have a case unless the other party was infringing on your VERSION of the gods.
Yes, exactly.
If they use my god-stats, and my god-names, as I matched them with my god-stats, I have at least a tenuous claim.
Also:

Sure I do. PI only means "this text is excluded from my OGC declarations, and I probably consider the names therein as trademarks according to the OGL."
It just happens that you, Steve, or anyone else can take my PI declaration, find a Public Domain source, and use my non-original names--as long as you don't "indicate compatability or co-adaptability." Which, honestly, if you use my stats and my name, you're very likely indicating one or the other.
