Nobody is going to consider a license with an unreasonable requirement like
that as Open Source. In this case the requirement is not particularly
obnoxious, unlike your example.

How about a patent license?

I agree that they could easily have separated how they want _their_ web
site treated into another document. There is, however, justfication for the
privilege they want you to grant them regarding your own web site where you
post modifications.
