Mechanics are not listed in the long list of things that you can declare as PI.
Go dig around in the list archives. Look for a [series of] post[s] from Alec on the topic of what can and cannot be PI. Alec has a law degree and, IIRC, specializes in IP law. He concluded that the list of what may be PIed is exemplary, not definitive. I don't remember the legal basis for this, but i know it convinced me--and seemed to convince Ryan, one of the drafters of the license and someone who was previously on the "if it's not on the list, you can't PI it" side of the debate.
