Right. And, as you note, this doesn't apply to Apache as they actually aren't using their own license as inbound. Except where they are, and they ignore this requirement anyway. (Which says something about its value and relevance.) What this does is it privileges (in terms of convenience) one group of modifiers of the software over all others. I think that the "official version" of a particular codebase (saying nothing about trademarks) should be determined by developer acclaim, not by any licensing speedbumps, however slight, put in the way of anyone-other-than-the-first-people.
