You may want to update the sections count, they're 10 now.

I'd suggest to add in clause 4, or in its obligations a)-d), an "if
copyright exists" or something similar. If copyright doesn't exist in
the Work, can't put enforceable conditions on redistributions.

Just wondering: you said that Apache License 2.0 doesn't have a
severability clause, and it would have helped your wishes. However you
didn't add one. Why not?
