It's not, of course, the first time that this sort of clause has had to 
be considered - see for example 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSLint#License , further discussed at 
http://dev.hasenj.org/post/3272592502/ibm-and-its-minions#_=_ .

However "silly" the clause is it's still what is written, and if it's 
not appropriate for OSM, then some other accommodation needs to be 
found, perhaps along the lines of that described for above - “I give 
permission for IBM, its customers, partners, and minions, to use JSLint 
for evil.”.
