If you were to invite me to a pub and offer to buy me a pint of Guinness, then would it not be unreasonable of me if I said, "I accept, but only on the condition that you will pay for all beers in the future, too."
I believe that's why http://www.digium.com/disclaim.changes exists. But then you'd have to disclaim every change every time... that's why it says "both documents are fine, just whichever you are more comfortable with" on the Bugs page.
At least, that's my understanding...
From that document, the line I think he has a problem with is:
____________________________ affirms that it has no other intellectual property interest that would undermine this release, or the use of the Program, and will do nothing to undermine it in the future.
If you posted a mail saying that you thought Asterisk was crap and had signed this disclaimer, you could go to court. Not that Digium would do that though.
I've always thought it was a bit of a strange clause, but hey I trust Digium implicitly (my business relies on them doing well).
