Public domain names are no different than any other kind of OGC or PI.  If
the public domain name was OGC before it was PI, then the party who made it
PI is in breach.  If it wasn't, then it is now theirs if you choose to
derive from their work.  Since it is a public domain name, you can still use
it in works that do not derive from it.

Yes, that might be pretty disappointing if they did something really cool
with it, but that's one consequence of how the OGL handles PI.
