I think it's a major stretch to call the installer derivative. It's a separate piece of software to package the IDE. And if the IDE that it packages is the same as upstream, then it's not a derivative. Now, the installer itself shouldn't be just called Apache NetBeans if it is not developed here, but note I actually suggested use of "XXX installer for Apache NetBeans and OpenJDK" (or "OpenBeans installer for Apache NetBeans and OpenJDK"!) That seems perfectly within the scope of the permissions. In fact, was considering building one myself.
