In practice, I would instead simply replace all references to John with references to Jason and would ignore the fact that John ever existed because John is PI and I can't use him in my product.
 
Let's put it a little differently.
 
Venca is the undead diety of greyhawk. Wizards releases a book that is OGC with Venca listed as PI so I can't use him in my product. This same book also has a number of spells in it that are directly related to our undead god. The names of these spells which are things like 'Venca's Hand of doom' and 'Venca's horrid vomit' are also listed as PI.
 
The question is: Do I _KNOW_ that the spells which are in a completely different chapter from the Diety Venca are in fact related to the diety? Or for my purposes are they just nameless spells and nameless dieties?
 
And no, this is not just theoretical talk before someone chimes in. I have a real world similar example where I felt weird about claiming that a certain set of rules went with a certain name even though I was going to change the name.

Then I can say: In this context for my product X=Jason and based on the [X][A] spell description that's Jason's Fire Missle.


Umm, I'd recommend using plain English instead of pseudo-code to describe the PI.
