Because the work, as far as the license is concerned, and the work, as

Woodelf, I concur.  A poem is a work.  A picture can be a work.  A short story can be a work.  If I have a book that contains a short story, a poem, and a picture, I have a singe encompassing work, and three contained works.  If I intend that the OGL apply only to the short story (by my election), and my OGC and PI declarations apply only to that short story, then it signals to users of the OGL that the "work covered by the license" is the short story, and not the poem or the picture or the encompassing volume.
