Ah, not quite so fast! If you write: “all the introductory text which follows”, that might be construed as meaning not the part between the notice and the text which follows these words. So we have to have a terminating condition for this recursion of uncertainty. I agree, “this entire license” is probably the best form. But anyway, my point, in the above and in my other reply with the anecdotes, is that while you may be perfectly right from the stand point of common sense and logic, it may not translate to being legally right. Of course, I think you modifications are reasonable, but I have to agree with matt4077 – it creates problems and uncertainty for others, you're (I guess?) not a lawyer, and even if you were, they would still need to consult lawyers about it. It adds friction.
