One question. If someone produces an OGL product that
includes a 'new' creature called a chartreuse dragon
and claims it as PI, _nobody else_ can use it, ever,
even if their idea of a chartreuse dragon is something
completely different? If this is so, sounds to me
like a really unscrupulous person could come out with
a supplement that gobbles up a whole bunch of
permutations of names just to keep anyone else from
using them. Did I misunderstand how PI works?
