It seems to be, but it is also obscurely worded. The end of the same
clause,
| Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License or
| after its termination shall be subject to the requirements and
| penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., the
| equivalent laws of other countries, and international treaty. This
| section shall survive the termination of this License.
seems to require the licencee to comply with all copyright laws in the
entire world, however draconian and regardless of his position.
