I know this list is supposed to be about reviewing proposed licenses rather than speculation, but hopefully you'll at least find this question more on-topic than most.
With respect to the language at the top of:

and for context:

The NOTICE Sun is asking us to post seems, to me, to effectively constitute an additional term of copyright. Such a term would not seem to be OSD compliant. Empirically I can argue this easily, as no open source license has been approved with such a conformance requirement on derivative works (AFAIK). The Sun Internet Standards Source License comes close, but it also allows the release of non-conformant works so long as the full source code to non-conformant works is available. What I need are solid sound-bite-y easy-to-explain but non-dogmatic arguments as to why such a conformance requirement is not compatible with the way Open Source works (putting aside compatibility with any particular licenses).
