The crux of the matter here isn't the use of the names, however. The point of 
contention would be their use of your closed stats, period, not their use of your 
stats in combination with public domain names you declare open. As I understand it, if 
you made your version of the god stats open but falsely declare the god names PI, they 
could still use your open stats with the god names and you'd have no claim because you 
simply can't claim those names as PI. You can't even claim your version as protected 
if you made the stats open. If the stats were closed, however, it would be just a 
simple case of copyright infringement. The names, PI or not, wouldn't be relevant.
