Secondly, they decided that they wanted to start "PIing" things that they hadn't in the past to better protect their interests. Hence, the current declaration that basically opens the game mechanics and that's it.That's really sort of odd. "PI-ness" is an explicit exception to "open-ness" -- the whole reason it's in the license is so that you can declare terms/elements as PI, and then not have to worry about whether they appear within the passages you've indicated to be OGC.
The way they're doing things now only really provides extra protection in the sense that it makes people not want to try to reuse things because it's impossible to figure out what they meant to be open without asking them.
