The method is not in question.  As long as you show what is OGC, then you
satisfy the license.  But saying "everything except the material derived from
the works of Beatrix Potter is OGC" does not show you what *is* OGC unless you
include the full text of Peter Rabbit and several other books.  Incomplete
parameters for specifying what is not OGL will not work.

My point is that you must indicate what sections are OGC.  If you wish to
clarify by also saying that certain sections are not, then that is OK, but a
negative declaration cannot stand alone.
