Since the OGL explicitly allows people to PI spell names, and since spell name collections are copyrightable and subject to being PI'd, I'd say PI'ing spell name collections is _explicitly_ allowable and _intended_ under the language of the OGL.
Spell name collections? I guess, if they're all original.
But nonunique spell names (i.e., "fire bolt") aren't necessarily protected by a PI declaration ANYWAY (check your lawyer, don't trust me)--so in claiming a nontrademarkable spell name as PI, someone might actually be violating the OGL. And even if they're not, they're doing something that's really rather annoying.
Oh, and collections of OGC spell names may (I don't know) be derivitive of the OGC, and so required to be released as OGC (and not PI).
