No, after reading the license closely, I disagree. No code would
ever be forced to become OGC under this license. See my
previous mail.

Yes it only defines two. But this means that anything
other than PI and OGC are not affected by this document, not
that everything must be one or the other.

Yes. Your copyright won't matter because your code will be OGC. As Ryan
pointed out to me, a work is whatever you represent as a bundle to the user.
If you distribute OGC with software then the bundle is all covered by the
OGL. The OGL has two categories of intellectual property - Product
Identity, and Open Gaming Content. Everything covered by the OGL must be in
one of those two categories. Since software isn't one of the things that
can be PI, it must be OGC.
