Debian-legal usually views such clauses as non-free.

And this is even worse - upstream wants the right to re-release my
modifications as proprietary code.

Argh. A termination clause that triggers by any legal action that
relates to intellectual property.

This is badly worded. Would it cover copies that are downloaded from,
say, a Debian mirror after Lucent decides to revoke the license?
