Ted,
Well, if IPR owners don't actually care, why are they asking

My assumption is that they care if the party that fails to send
a postcard is one of their competitors. That's what the defensive
clauses in these licenses are all about, afaics.

Ditto. (Full disclosure: Ted and I have the same employer, but
we're allowed to disagree :-)
A statement of claims and conditions should also protect software
distribution as a practical matter, or this limitation should be
clearly disclosed.
