So you would agree with some of the posters of the last few days that most public domain words can't be PIed (a position I agree with), but you disagree about the possibility of PIing a name derivable from a public domain source as it applies to a particular character? (That is, since the word "Spike" is available in the public domain, if there was an OGL Buffy the Vampire-Slayer Game, the publisher wouldn't be able to PI the word Spike as it applied to one of the characters in that series?)
