I wholeheartedly agree with your choice to designate PI. The other copyright
language is probably what I was looking for, but just in case I'll try to be
clearer.  In the bottom of your post you say:

"The above Product Identity is not Open Game Content
and reproduction or use without the written permission
of the copyright holder is expressly forbidden, except
for the purpose of review."

My question is why this statement seems necessary?  It seems to be
addressing some sort of Fair Use of PI (but does not address Fair Use of
OGC, which is also valid), and seems redundant with (and not quite as
precise as) the statements in the OGL regarding PI.  It doesn't seem to give
you any catch-all type benefit, it just seems to be a reminder that PI is
off-limits.

The only people I can think of that would ever care about what is PI and
what it means are those who will become intimately familiar with the OGL and
thus very aware of the restrictions placed on PI.

I haven't decided yet if you are claiming (marginally) greater rights than
the OGL grants...it requires more thought than my tired brain has at this
point.  Even if you are it wouldn't matter in any but the most obscure
circumstances.

I think this is a very minor point, more a curiosity on my part than
anything else.  It certainly doesn't hurt anything as written.
