I'll note the Apache license does as well - no one has rights to use the 
Apache trademark in their derivative works.  While that is leagues 
different than "all your derivative works are belong to us", it's still a 
right reserved for the ID and disproportionate (your patch to our code 
helps make Apache better and builds the brand name you don't have rights 
to).
