Hi Sylvestre,
note the potential danger of infringement of this clause, for instance if one
makes flyers for Debian Science live CDs that mention capacity to work with the
HDF5 format.
In the past, I managed to convince academic upstream authors of a program I
package to remove a similar clause, by referring to the following essay on the
FSF website: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/bsd.html. Maybe you can give
it a try?
Have a nice day,
