If a spell, monster, name, etc does not appear in a section designated as
OGC, then it is closed.
If a spell, monster, name, etc. appears in a section designated as OGC, but
also appears in the list of PI, then it is closed.
If an item appears in the list of PI and appears in a section designated as
OGC, but doesn't meet the criteria of PI given in the OGL, then you have a
breach of the license.
