Under
U.S. trademark law, anyone can say "I've built a derivative work of
Apache" without using Apache's good name, or yours, to endorse or
promote their software.
It looks like use of Apache's good name to me. If it isn't what it
looks like, I guess these words are not clear.
I think the words "endorse" and "promote" are
clear enough.
Perhaps this shows those words are highly confusing.
Do you want me to add the
phrase "pretty please" to the end of the provision so that people will
recognize it is a reminder rather than an order to do or not to do
something?
Being serious rather than facetious, if this provision said "This
license does not grant any license to use the trademarks ..." then it
would clearly be a reminder and it would not be incompatible with the
GPL.
