Then it seems OK. That's not the issue: the main issue is that "If you obtain such knowledge after you make any Modifications available as described in Section 4(b), you shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies you make available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Licensed Product from you that new knowledge has been obtained." (It's also obnoxious that it specifies the exact mechanism by which you must include these notices, right down to the filename, rather than just speaking in general about "clear and conspicuous notices" or similar; I'm not sure if that's non-free or not though.) - Josh Triplett
