I think you've missed the point, big time.

The question is: can this software be called open source (or free, let's not get into _that_ discussion ;-) software if it contains a clause like this?

This has nothing to do with not being reasonable, whining and complaining. I am all for all of those but in this case I'll just stick to reading the license.
