That's just like saying 

It is outside the scope of the Puke License to modify and distribute the
copyrighted materials without puking 10 (ten) times for each
modification and distributed copy and a tracking of total number of
pukes.

How does not puking and tracking of total number of pukes possibly
violate any exclusive rights listed in 17 USC 106?

The simple fact is that inclusion of notices and tracking of
modifications is the stated consideration (covenants on the licensee's
side) which has absolutely nothing to do with scope-of-use limitations
and conditions precedent.

The trier of fact (the district court) correctly recognized that fact.

The CACF's opinion is just amusing nonsense, OTOH.
