Although the license to the original developer is onerous, It still 
allows you to freely redistribute the work. The relationship is 
assymetrical, but not outside of Open Source. The fields-of-endeavor 
test would be the one you should apply to this provision, it passes that 
too.

An additional rights grant is not discriminatory under OSD #5 if the 
parties to whom the rights are NOT granted are still getting sufficient 
rights for it to otherwise be considered an Open Source license.
