That whole section 7, especially:
-----begin quote-----
a) They may require the preservation of certain copyright notices,
other legal notices, and/or author attributions, and may require
that the origin of the parts they cover not be misrepresented,
and/or that altered versions of them be marked in the source code,
or marked there in specific reasonable ways, as different from the
original version.
c) They may prohibit or limit the use for publicity purposes of specified
names of contributors, and they may require that certain specified
trademarks be used for publicity purposes only in the ways that are
fair use under trademark law except with express permission.
-----end quote-----
I have seen items like these be issues for companies like RedHat,
especially when people would make copies of their OS, then resell it
with the RedHat logo on it. These get to cover the "our logo is ours,
so you don't get to use it to sell your products" arguement.
I still believe that the preample is the best part about it. As always,
if you don't like it, you don't have to release your software under it.
Thanks,
Chris
