The parenthetical comment that follows it is, I think critical here:
(You will not be required to justify it to the
Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
as a market that must bear the fee.)
In other words (following capitalist logic): if people pay the fee,
then it's reasonable. I think this is different in princible from
a license where "reasonable" is determined by the copyright holder,
or the courts.
