| Vortigern you describe, and not all incarnations that bear that name.
This is why I'm not sure we need PI and the related clauses at all. If I
have to specify what content is open, doesn't all the other content still
fall under the good graces of my copyright? If you don't want JoJo the
Dancing Bear's name to become OGC, don't mark it as such, trademark it and
voila. I suppose we could define PI within the license just to avoid NOGC as
an acronym, but AFAICT this is opening up more worm-cans than its closing.
