I have one remark on this paragraph: Every software is copyrighted, no
matter what license it has. A free software license is there to allow
others to do things with the software which normally would be the
exclusive right of the copyright holder (e.g. redistribution). Maybe you
can just omit this phrase and write something like "... convention of
Berne about copyright its redistribution is not permitted if not allowed
explicitely by the license.".
