I doubt that you've ever heard a major publisher say on this list that he believes that no rules can be PIed or Closed. You *might* have heard one say that any rule that is derivative (as per Section 1 (b) of the OGL) of previously released Open Content that he Uses (as per Section 1 (g) of the OGL) cannot be closed or PIed. If a publisher feels that his rule is not derivative of previously released OGC that he Uses in his book (e.g., the Power Points rules in Mutants & Masterminds, which aren't based on any equivalent rules in the SRD since there are no equivalent rules in the SRD) then he will have the choice of releasing it as Open Content or closing/PIing it.
