No we don't. There's huge chunks of X under licenses like that without
us having obtained any clarification. We assume that they're free unless
the copyright holder claims otherwise. You might like that to be
changed, but what you're claiming is simply untrue - current practice is
not to read licenses in the worst possible light.
