Egad. You mean, we *don't* have that sort of language already? I figured we'd retained that and other clarifications from OOo days' FAQ, not all of which related to Sun/Oracle or the licenses used. (I helped write or edit most of the faq and maintained them). The faq are still there, in svn, last I checked. But anyway, we used to have language stating what you just put. It worked—for those who read it and got it.
