RE: [Ogf-l] PI in summary...

Title: Message

In the case of the Greek gods you mentioned, you don't have the right to declare the names PI - you didn't create the names.  You can declare your WRITE-UP of the Greek gods PI, but another publisher could do their own writeup - meaning create their own version of the Greek gods  - and that is a separate creation from yours and thus they can declare what they wrote as PI.   You can only declare your original creations which are not derived from the SRD to be PI.  The declaration has an ownership element to it - if you don't own it, you can't declare it.
