We'd need to hash that out. It certainly feels hinky, but I'm not
sure whether it would be an OSD violation or not. Generally,
*requirements* to advertise anything aside from the licensing
terms are violations of OSD 8 and 10. Requirements to not
advertise something? Not sure.

That assumes that by "Standard Version" the license means
"Unmodified source code"; if it means something else, it would
depend on what. Regardless, it's not possible to make any real
judgement without seeing the whole license.
<br>
<br>
The more common thing in licenses is a requirement to NOT include
the source organization's name on modified versions.
