This clause is also in the X.org license and is found throughout X.
We chose to be specific because we are the _only_ copyright holder,

is not the case, as you will notice, for X.org.
Thanks for letting me clear that one up.
I'm sorry to write that I don't think you answered my question above
at all, but stated a case where the questionable term is in a
different copyright licence.
However, I think the use is significantly different. The copyright
permissions granted by the X.org licence found at
http://www.x.org/Downloads_terms.html do not seem to be conditional on
that term. The permissions of the X-Oz licence are.
Could you please look at the X.org and X-Oz licences again and notice
this difference? If you want to mimic the X.org licence, then will you
make that clause a notice in the footer instead, please? Copyright
licence conditions are the wrong way to police trademarks.
