a) added control over their IP
b) additional recognition beyond Section 15
c) sometimes are looking to allow the purchaser of a volume using their OGC to easily pick out which creatures or spells come from which book (something which is not normally allowable due to the "no compatibility declarations" restrictions in the OGL)
"C" is often to the benefit of the person purchasing the products (so they know where to get something specific that they want to borrow). The other two are entirely reasonable with a friendly license for the PI.
How is a PIed name with reuse any better at this than a freely-reusable OGCed name? I agree that accurate attribution of reused content is great for the consumer *and* the original producer, but i don't see how the PIed name helps the matter. Yes, with an OGCed name, they can just change it. Well, they can give a spell a new name even if the name is PIed, too.
