Section #7. "... in a work containting Open Gaming Content..."

Game Content."
Now, there are certain things that have to be OGC, possibly including
all game rules in your product. But the license makes a lot more
sense when you realize that non-game rule content doesn't have to be
PI or OGC.
Neither of those clauses in any way necessitates, or even implies,
non-OGC, non-PI content. Why refer to a "work containing OGC"? Because
it also has PI, and both "parts" are covered by that clause. Likewise
for the necessity to indicate OGC--just because, if a work only contains
OGC and PI, it would be slightly redundant to identify both of those,
doesn't mean that there is some 3rd bit. And, again, if the work that
the license refers to is allowed to be a subset of the physical work,
that, too, would explain the necessity of identifying both OGC and PI,
without necessarily allowing the license to *cover* non-OGC non-PI content.
