You are correct that it's neither Pathfinder nor based around our IP, so it's not going to use either the PCL or Infinite license.
I think there's a typo or miss-wording in there Mark. :)
If somebody is using another's rules expression (via the ORC), and not re-wording them to be able to use just the mechanics then your product can only use them via the ORC (or a separate license with the original author). Which means that your product itself has to be licensed under the ORC. :)
