And with things like the following being included in PI:

"names and descriptions of characters, spells, enchantments, personalities,
teams, personas, likenesses and special abilities;"
"places, locations, environments, creatures, equipment, magical or
supernatural abilities or effects, logos, symbols, or graphic designs"
This is a list of things that can be declared PI. It is not a requirement that be so declared.

I get a little confused at this point.  Does this mean that you can't use
the name "Magic Missile"(TM?) without "another, independent Agreement with
the owner of each element of that Product Identity"?  It does not appear
that the STL gives you the license to do so, so what does?  At the tops of
the different documents in the SRD I see "This material is Open Game
Content, and is licensed for public use under the terms of the Open Game
License v1.0a."
And since, next to that line you do not see, "the follow terms are PI: magic jar, magic missile, magic ...." then they are not PI.

Ok, so now that I've gotten through the whole software issue (resolved by
not trying to comply with the d20 System License) I am getting hung up on
what is PI and what PI we have the "right" to through OGC/OGL.  Any remarks?
There is no PI in the SRD. 3rd party OGL users have declared stuff PI. Pick up a 3rd party book at your FLGS and see how PI is designated.

Hope that helps,
Joe
