APL license - What about the enforced logos?

Um, basic copyright law allows them to add their author credits. 
I do not read the cited clause as purporting to prohibit that 
action, and -- again -- think it amply clear that no judge would 
ever read it that way, either.

Actually, you're running right into the point I was trying to make:
This is law, not coding.  Words need to be read _in_ the applicable
legal context; failing to do so leads many software-oriented
commentators to commit crazy talk.  I keep seeing this happen, and it's
gotten old.
