The old Sun RPC license required that this legend is included on all tape media and as a part of the software program in whole or part.

Probably they meant all tape media with Sun RPC on it, but you never know.

That's much more vague and more likely to be interpreted in a limited fashion (contra proferentem). But when the license actually says "all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service," there's only so much room for interpretation.
