Actually he isn't a jerk and isn't stopping you from using his open content. What the author is doing is 100% on the up and up and is ALLOWED by the OGL. Furthermore, the author has included a license to use his PI for FREE! He just wants to ensure that he gets credit for his creation, is that wrong or unethical? In most cases 99% of what you want to reuse is reusable. Is it a pain to have to go through and take out the PI? Yes, but if you want to use the stuff so badly why not just take what was offered and create the rest? Some of the things I have reused have had various pieces of them PI'ed so far it hasn't been a problem to come up with a name for some character, feat, spell, etc. Who cares it has a different name? The meat of what you want has been freely given! I have never understood why ppl get so hung up on NEEDING the name that was PI, I am starting to think that the basic reason is because it is off limits.
