As an FYI, svnkit has some similar "redistribution" clauses...
http://svnkit.com/license.html
The third bullet is the most interesting:
"... any software that uses the software that uses

A second level of "uses" indirection. First time I ever saw
that one...
(I only mention, because I believe Subclipse also includes svnkit.)
