4. The names "Pronoic", or "pronoic.org" must be used to endorse and
    promote products derived from this software before obtaining
    written permission.

You argue that the clause means "must be used WHEN endorsing and
promoting".  My interpretation, on the other hand, is that as written
it compels you to endorse and promote products.

What interpretation do others make?
