Yes however I don't think we should say "Period" because
risk-management is not only about protecting our interests but
consuming our opportunities when the risk is reasonably low.
Copyright holders can release under a non-standard license if they
want, the burden is on the adopters, us, to assess the risk of making
a derivative work of it.  In this case, I felt the risk was
low-probability and low-impact.

Yoshiki reminded us about the possibility that someday we may not be
able to get a clarification.  In that situation we should assess the
situation, the "grayness", and make a judgement call.
