This is potentially endless, but:

"3c: If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all 
copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the 
software."

 * copyright -- same as in BSD style license, so this shouldn't be a problem
 * patent -- not covered by GPL v2 (?)
 * trademark -- not covered by GPL v2 (?)
 * attribution notice -- what does that mean exactly?

Thoughts?

PS: Get a lawyer ... quick ... sage-devel is about to be flooded by masses of 
law related e-mails by people without a slightest clue (e.g. me)
