I concur with Sam. The important distinction is whether the language quoted is part of the license, or just a friendly FYI to keep people from getting into trouble. If the license doesn't automatically terminate, and its terms don't change, if someone violates the laws cited, then the language is not effectively part of the license, for the same reason that language describing good ways to tie one's shoes isn't a "license term" even if it's part of a license document. Such things just reflect scope creep (and sometimes sloppy thinking) on the part of the licensor. -- G.
